@ user:Serial Number 54129 as you created this page and have been its custodian so I am giving you a heads up that I wish to rename this page in line with many others to Sir Ralph Stafford. The criteria for this are:

• WP:NAMINGCRITERIA Naturalness "The title is one that readers are likely to look or search for and that editors would naturally use to link to the article from other articles"
• WP:Naming conventions (royalty and nobility)#British nobility "4. Titles of knighthood such as Sir and Dame are not normally included in the article title... However, Sir may be used in article titles as a disambiguator when a name is ambiguous and one of those who used it was knighted"
• and also WP:NATURAL

However there is another option, but you would be better qualified than I to decide if it is appropriate, " Ralph Stafford, Lord Stafford" as a courtesy title, because his father was not only Earl of Stafford but also Baron Stafford and at certain time is was customary for the eldest son of a noble to have and use a courtesy title.

@ PBS: thanks for the ping. All your arguments are good; personally, I'd stick with "Sir Ralph" as it's our house style. Good point about him taking on a minor title, but the sources are not explicit it, which is why I never mentioned it here. They do, however, all refer to him as "Sir"  :) go ahead!
