One of the most important dynasties of medieval England, the Staffords have a fascinating story that illustrates a large sweep of social and religious history, as the title descended, in effect, through five successive families: the Norman de Toenis, the Bagots, a cadet line of the Howards of Norfolk, the Jerninghams and finally the Fitzherberts, who hold the barony today. There is one constant in the story-a Stafford held Stafford Castle in the 12th century and Lord Stafford holds it today. The author is a very distinguished historian, who illuminates an entertaining narrative with a surprising selection of pictures and portraits.
