Historical Notes
Married Joan Lovell, the niece and coheiress of Viscount and Baron Beaumont. The Beaumonts were descended from the Frankish princes of Brienne from whom had come John I (b. 1148) the last Christian king of Jerusalem. Through this marriage the Stapletons became heirs to the barony of Beaumont which had been created in 1435 for John de Beaumont, Great Chamberlain and Constable of England, Joan Lovell's grandfather who had been slain in 1460 fighting for the Lancastrians. A barony in fee could be passed through the female line, but the title was not reclaimed for over 300 years.
