Biography
Extract from The Family of Staunton of Staunton [1]:
- The continuous history of the family begins with Geoffrey de Staunton, who was living at the close of King Stephen's reign; and there is no direct evidence to connect him with the Malger of Domesday. On the other hand, the fact that the son of Geoffrey bears the name of Malger, though by no means conclusive, may well be significant; and the distance between the date of Domesday Book and the reign of Stephen is not too great to be bridged by the lives of father and son.
- The wife of Geoffrey de Staunton was Beatrice, a member of the family which held lands in South Muskham under the Archbishops of York. A portion of her dowry lay in Kelham, and with her assent was granted by Geoffrey her husband to Rufford Abbey, then newly founded. The gift was confirmed by King Stephen upon a visit to Worksop in the last year of his reign; and after Geoffrey's death, in consideration of three marks and a cow, Beatrice, then married to Eudo d'Albini, re-affirmed the grant.
