[Burke's Peerage]

-------------------------------

NICHOLAS DE STAFFORD, son and heir, by 1st wife. In Trin. term 1272 he had not 
yet been knighted, but was in possession of his lands. He served repeatedly in Wales 
from 1277 to 1287. In Trin. term 1279 he was sued as Nicholas, Baron of Stafford, by 
his brother Edmund for an acquittal of service. He married probably daughter of 
Geoffrey DE LANGLEY (l). Apparently she did not survive him. He died on or about 1 
August 1287 at the siege of Deresloyn or Droslan Castle in Wales, and was buried at 
Stone. He left a will. [Complete Peerage XII/1:172, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

(l) In 1272 a Staffordshire jury stated that the King had given him in marriage to a 
daughter of Geoffrey de "Langeley". Even the rimed chronicle of Stone omits 
Nicholas' wife. She was presumably daughter of the Geoffrey de Langley who d. in 
1274.

-------------------------------

This feudal lord, Nicholas de Stafford, who was actively engaged against the Welsh in 
the reign of King Edward I, was killed before Droselan Castle, about 1293, and was s.
