Henry Stafford, 1st Earl of Wiltshire
- Henry Stafford, 1st Earl of Wiltshire
Henry Stafford, 1st Earl of Wiltshire (c. 1479 – March 1522/1523) 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. Stafford was a close friend of the King, and Henry VIII was involved around this time with Anne Stafford, Countess of Huntingdon, Stafford's sister.
He married Cecily, Marchioness of Dorset (c.1460-1530), daughter of the 1st Lord Bonville and 6th Lord Harington and widow of Wiltshire's first cousin Thomas Grey, 1st Marquess of Dorset (c. 1456–1501), but died without children. The earldom expired on his death. After the death of his wife, the title was given to Thomas Boleyn, whose daughter Anne was betrothed to the King.
