Radulfus filius Brieni, is a frequent witness to deeds of Nicolas de Stafford, of the reign of Hen. I, in Stone and Kenilworth Chartularies. Robert fitz Ralph, the tenant of the Liber Niger and the grandson of the Domesday tenent, under the name of Robert de Standon, pays a merk "pro recognitione," of the Stafford Pipe-Roll of 27 H.2. He is dead before 32 H.2, for inthat year, Adam de Stand was suing Roger de Dicford for the service of half a Kight's fee [Warwick Pipe-Roll of that year-.

Ditchford Frary was held in 1086 by Robert de Stafford, and of him by Brion; it was assessed at 2 hides, and had formerly been held by Leuric [V.C.H. Warw. i, 329]. The overlordship descended in the Stafford family [Chan. Inq. p.m. 10 Ric. II, no. 38; 22 Ric. II, no. 46; 38-9 Hen. VI, no. 59]. Brion, apparently the ancestor of the family of Standon [Wm. Salt Soc. n.s. vi, 7], had been succeeded by 1166 by Robert son of Ralph, who held of Robert de Stafford 7 fees, of which 2/3 fee was held by Roger de Dicheford [Red Bk. of Exch. 265]. In 1185 Adam de Standon was impleading Roger for ½ knight's fee in Ditchford [Pipe R. Soc. xxxiv, 104]. Adam died between 1194 and 1199, and his son Robert was dead by 1208, leaving an heir under age [Wm. Salt Soc. (1911), 394]. This heir was presumably Vivian de Standon, against whom Hervey de Stafford brought a suit in 1230 [Cal. Close, 1227-31, p. 392]. Hervey claimed that Vivian should render service of a knight's fee for his 2 hides in Ditchford, but in 1232 the service was fixed at half a fee [Feet of F. (Dugd. Soc. xi), 478]. Vivian still held the mesne lordship in 1242 [Bk. of Fees, 950], and on his death in 1250.
