11-9 f.e. for John Stafford [q. v.] . . . great-uncle read Sir Humphrey Stafford (d. 1413), of Hook and Southwick, great-grandfather of the subject of this article, was father of a second Sir Humphrey Stafford (1379-1442), called 'of the silver hand.' Another son of the elder Sir Humphrey was John Stafford [q. v.], archbishop of Canterbury. The latter's legitimacy is questioned, although he is usually described as the earl of Devon's great-uncle
454 ii 25 Stafford, John (d. 1452): after Stafford insert of Southwick Court, North Bradley, Wiltshire, as well as of Hook, Dorset, who was twice married, and had by his first wife, Alice Greynville or Greville, or (according to some authorities) Beville, a son, Sir Humphrey Stafford (1379-1442)
26-35 for and a kinsman of his contemporary . . . earl of Devon [q. v.] read and calls the archbishop his brother in his will. The elder Sir Humphrey's second wife was Elizabeth (d. 1413), daughter of Sir William Aumâle and widow of Sir John Maltravers (d. 1386), of Hook, who in her will, dated 14 Oct. 1413, refers to Master John Stafford. There are difficulties in accepting the statement that the archbishop was a legitimate son of the elder Sir Humphrey's first marriage.
37-38 for an allegation for which . . . no foundation. read and although Gascoigne is an hostile witness uncertainty exists as to the name and status of his mother. A handsome monument to 'Emma,' mother of Archbishop Stafford, stands in North Bradley Church. It is said to have been erected by the archbishop. The mother, 'Emma,' is described as having died, a sister of the priory of the Holy Trinity at Canterbury, on 5 Sept. 1446. It is probable that the archbishop was her illegitimate child by the elder Sir Humphrey. In that case a papal dispensation propter defectum natus would be required before he could be ordained priest. At present search in the Vatican records has only revealed at the requisite period a papal
period a papal dispensation dated 17 March 1403, which entitled John Stafford, clerk of the diocese of Lincoln, who was then in or about his fourteenth year, to hold a benefice (Lateran Register, cviii. f. 79 b). Whether the John Stafford mentioned in this dispensation was the future archbishop is uncertain. If so he was born about 1389. In 1408 his father, Sir Humphrey, presented him to the living of Farnborough, Somerset, a fact which might suggest an earlier date of birth.
469 i 27 Stalham, John: after Oxford, insert It seems more likely that he was the John Stalham who was matriculated as a sizar of Christ's College, Cambridge, in April 1617, graduating B.A. in 1620-1, M.A. 1624, and whose son John, admitted to the same college in 1667-8, was born at Terling, where the puritan divine was beneficed.
