Notes
Miles de Stapleton served in the Gascon and Scottish wars of Edward I and was one of the men entrusted with the education of the king's son. He was created 1st baron, Lord Stapleton, and was called to parliament. He increased his family's interests in Yorkshire considerably. His eldest son was betrothed to a daughter of the Earl of Richmond and his second son to one of the daughters of Brian Fitzalan, lord of Bedale. His first wife, Sybil or Isabel, was the daughter of John de Bellew and Laderine, sister of Peter de Brus. Carlton came into the family as part of her inheritance. Towards the end of his life Miles de Stapleton sided with Lancaster but when he was called to muster for the relief of Stirling he came to the aid of the king. He and two of his sons were killed at Bannockburn in 1314 (Foster, Pedigrees; Dictionary of National Biography; Robinson, Carlton Towers, p.10).
