The title Baron Stafford has been created several times in the Peerage of England. The first creation was by writ in 1299 for Edmond de Stafford. His successor, the second baron, was made an earl, and the sixth earl was made Duke of Buckingham. The second Duke of Buckingham was executed for treason and his titles were declared forfeit. His son was restored as third Duke, but he, too, was executed for treason, forfeiting his titles. The Peerage of England comprises all peerages created in the Kingdom of England before the Act of Union in 1707. ...

The titles Marquess and Duke of Buckingham have been created several times in the peerages of England, Great Britain, and the United Kingdom. ...

The second creation, again by writ, was for Richard Stafford. At the death of the fourth baron, that title fell into abeyance. The next creation was for Sir Hugh Stafford in 1411; at his death, the title became extinct since he left no heirs. The fourth creation was in 1547 for Henry Stafford; at the death of the sixth baron, the barony became extinct again. FISH ...

The final creation of the title came in 1640. William Howard was created Baron Stafford, and his wife Mary Stafford was made Baroness Stafford in her own right. Later in that year, they were created Viscount and Viscountess Stafford. In 1680, Lord Stafford was executed and his peerage forfeit, but in 1688 his wife was made Countess of Stafford, and his son Henry was made Earl of Stafford. The Earl, however, did not possess the barony of Stafford, as it was under attainder. An attainder, in British law, is the ending of a persons civil rights after he has been sentenced to death or to outlawry, as an additional penalty. ...

In 1762, the earldom became extinct. In 1824, George Stafford-Jerningham obtained a complete reversal of the attainder, and became Baron Stafford.
