Hervey Bagot of Stafford (b c1140, d before 25.08.1214)
m. (c1171) Millicent de Stafford (b c1150, dau of Robert, Lord of Stafford)
BE1883 (Stafford) reports that Hervey, "a Staffordshire gentleman of ancient family", had to sell the lordship of Drayton in order to raise the funds necessary to obtain livery of his wife's inheritance. One source indicated that Hervey Bagot was in fact named Harvey Basset but confusion may have arisen because there was a well-known branch of the Bassets at Drayton. Indeed, the dates indicate that Drayton may have moved into the Basset family from this Hervey. , Collins (vol 2, 1841, 'Stafford-Howard, Earl of Stafford', p469+), which skips through the generations covered by this page, just identifies him as "of an ancient Family in those parts".
