“It is of course admitted, that Edward at his coronation ennobled his
brothers the Duke of Clarence and Duke of Gloucester; but Leland
appears to have expressed himself either not clearly, or not with his
usual accuracy, with respect to the dates of the conferring of the
titles upon several of the other personages, before mentioned, as may
be easily ascertained by a reference to the works of Ralph Brooke, or
Dugdale; from which it plainly appears, that although Edward did not
forget eventually to reward many of his supporters and adherents with
rank and titles, yet in some instances several years elapsed, after
his coronation, before they were ennobled, or, as the case might be,
were advanced in the peerage.”

was Sir Henry Stafford (a son of Humphrey Stafford, first Duke of
Buckingham, slain at the battle of Northampton, and a brother of
Humphrey Stafford, Earl of Stafford, slain at the first battle of St.
Alban’s, and also a brother of John Stafford, Earl of Wiltshire); and
her third husband was Thomas Lord Stanley, afterwards Earl of Derby.
The Countess of Richmond had only one child, viz., Henry Earl of
Richmond, afterwards King Henry VII., by her marriage with Edmund
Earl of Richmond (see Pedigree No. 4, chap. ix. p. 201); and she had
not any children either by her second or third husband, as if, to use
the words of Sandford, in his _Genealogical History_, p. 319, ‘she
had been designed to be the mother of a king onely.’ She lived to
see her son Henry VII. and her grandson Henry VIII. successively
kings, and died in the first year of the reign of the latter, on the
3rd July, 1509, and was buried in Westminster Abbey.”
