Family History
Staunton to Staton
The Stauntons had been given Belvoir Castle near the south east corner of Nottinghamshire. The castle was past down to the oldest boy in each family until 1451. That year the present Staunton owner died and his oldest son and heir Sir Robert was in the English Navy. There was no way to contact him about his father's death and so it was some time before he found out. During this time his sisters and brother Henry decided to take over the ownership of the castle. There was great conflict between the siblings. But to no avail for Sir Robert. He took the UN out of the center of his name and became Staton. We are informed he kept ownership of the castle. It is out of the name today. Sir Robert Staton then changed the coat of arms to its present look.
