Henry Stafford, 1st Earl of Wiltshire - Definition and Overview

Henry Stafford, 1st Earl of Wiltshire (~1479 - March 1522/3) was an English nobleman.

He was the younger son of Henry Stafford, 2nd Duke of Buckingham and of Catherine Woodville, and thus a nephew of King Edward IV of England.

In 1505 he was made a Knight of the Garter, and in 1509 or 1510 he was created Earl of Wiltshire. An earlier creation of the earldom had been held by his great-uncle and cousin, but had gone extinct a decade before.

He married Cecily, daughter of the 1st Lord Bonville and 6th Lord Harington, but died without children. The earldom expired on his death.
