Robert de Stafford, younger son of Roger de Toeni, was one of the greater tenants-in-chief in 1086. He held nearly 70 manors in Staffs, over 25 in Warwicks, over 20 in Lincs, 10 in Oxon, 1 in Worcs. and 1 in Northants, besides claims in Lincs and Suff. In 1072, he made a grant to Evesham Abbey of Wrottesley and Loynton, Staffordshire. In 1088 he renewed the grant when he had become a monk and was lying sick in Evesham Abbey. He is said to have married Avice de Clare but no such person can be traced. He died probably in 1088 and was probably buried at Evesham Abbey.
