Digitized by VjOOQIC Digitized by VjOOQIC STAFFORD 213 If the first castle of Stafford was of earth and wood, like most of William's castles, there would be nothing wonderful in its having many destructions and many resurrections. This castle was clearly a royal castle, from the language of Domesday Book. As a royal castle it would be committed to the custody of the sheriff, who appears to have been Robert de Stafford,^ ancestor of the later barons of Stafford, and brother ...of Ralph de Todeni, one of the great nobles of the Conquest. Ralph joined the party of Robert Curthose against Henry I. in I loi, and it is conjectured that his brother Robert was involved in the same rebellion, for in that year we find the castle held for the king by William Pantolf, a trusty companion of the Conqueror.* It is very unlikely that this second castle of Stafford was on a different site from the one which had been destroyed ; and an ingenious conjecture of Mr Mazzinghi's helps us to identify it with the castle on the motte.
