Disputed maternal ancestry

Foster (1891), asserted that Margaret was a maternal descendant of Edward I, by making her a daughter of Margaret de Audley.[1] Burke (n.d.), and Roger (n.d.), also claimed that her mother was Margaret d'Audley.[2] Richardson (n.d.), breaks the connection by stating that Margaret's mother was Katherine Hastang.[3] The memorial brass of Humphrey Stafford of Blatherwycke, Northamptonshire (d. 1548), also names the Hastang family.[4]

Origins

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Stafford,_1st_Earl_of_Stafford

Ralph de Stafford, 1st Earl of Stafford, 2nd Baron Stafford (24 September 1301 – 31 August 1372), KG, of Stafford Castle and Madeley Castle[3] in Staffordshire, was an English nobleman and a notable soldier during the Hundred Years' War against France.

Around 1326, Stafford married his first wife, Katherine de Hastang. Katherine was the daughter of Sir John de Hastang, Knight, of Chebsey, Staffordshire. Ralph and Katherine had two daughters:

1. Margaret Stafford, married Sir John de Stafford, Knight, of "Broomshull" (Bramshall near Uttoxeter, Staffordshire[6][7][8][9]%29 and Amblecote in the parish of Old Swinford, Worcestershire,[10] ancestor of several prominent Stafford lines, most notably Stafford of Hooke in Dorset, Stafford of Southwick in Wiltshire and Stafford of Grafton in Worcestershire.
2. Joan Stafford, married Sir Nicholas de Beke, Knight.

He later sensationally abducted Margaret de Audley, 2nd Baroness Audley, daughter of Hugh de Audley, 1st Earl of Gloucester and Margaret de Clare, who was worth at least £2,314 a year, more than ten times his own estates. Her parents filed a complaint with King Edward III of England, but the King supported Stafford's actions. In compensation, the King appeased Hugh and Margaret by creating Hugh the 1st Earl of Gloucester. Margaret de Audley and Stafford married before 6 July 1336 and they subsequently had two sons and four daughters:
