The following two were written as if Robert de Stafford & Robert deTodeni, of Belvoir are 2 different people

The first that assumed the surname of Stafford was Robert de Stafford,who possessed, at the time of the General Survey, lordships in Suffolk,Gloucestershire, Lincolnshire, Warwickshire, and Staffordshire, in all131, and Dugdale surmises that the assumption of the surname of Staffordarose from his being governor of Stafford Castle, which had been erectedby the Conqueror; for his name originally was de Toenei, and he is saidto have been a younger son of Roger de Toenei, standard bearer ofNormandy. of this Robert de Stafford, who lived till Henry I's time,nothing further is known than his founding an Augustine priory at Stone,in Staffordshire, upon the spot where Enysan de Waltone, one of thecompanions of the Conqueror, had killed two nuns and a priest. He m.Avice de Clare, and was s. by his son, Nicholas de Stafford.

Amongst the most distinguished companion in arms of the Conqueror wasRobert de Todeni, a nobleman of Normandy, upon whom the victoriousmonarch conferred, with numerous other grants, an estate in the county ofLincoln upon the borders of Leicestershire. Here de Todeni erected astately castle and, from the fair view it commanded, gave it thedesignation of Belvoir Castle, and here he established his chief abode.At the time of the General Survey, this powerful personage possessed noless than eighty extensive lordships, viz., two in Yorkshire, one inEssex, four in Suffolk, one in Cambridge, two in Hertfordshire, three inBucks, four in Gloucestershire, three in Bedfordshire, nine inNorthamptonshire, two in Rutland, thirty-two in Lincolnshire, andseventeen in Leicestershire. "of this Robert," saith Dugdale, "I have notseen any other memorial than that the Coucher-Book of Belvoir recordeth:which is, that bearing a venerable esteem to our sometime much celebratedprotomartyr, St. Alban, he founded near to his castle a priory for monksand annexed it as a cell to that great abbey in Hertfordshire, formerlyerected by the devout King Offa in honour of that most holy man." Robertde Todeni, Lord of Belvoir, d. in 1088, leaving issue by his wife Adela,William, who assumed the surname of Albini; Berenger; Geoffrey; Robert;and Agnes. He was s. by his eldest son, William de Albini, Brito, Lord ofBelvoir.
