Research Notes:
Hardy, History of the Parish of Tatenhill 1 (1907) p66-67 identified Maud as Maud de STAFFORD, daughter of Sir John de Stafford and widow of Edmund de Vernon [Ref: Douglas Richardson SGM 9/9/2020-152319]

Calendar of Close Rolls, 1377-1381 (1914) p288, shows Maud, daughter of John de Stafford and wife of Edmund de Vernon predeceased Edmund and died without issue before 1 Mar 1380 [Ref: Cox VERNON p148(32), Douglas Richardson SGM 9/9/2020-152319]

her identity is found in the article by Anthony Cox in Derbyshire Miscellany, daughter of Sir Rhys ap Griffith of Wichnor by his wife Joan Somerville [Ref: Cox VERNON p141]

the mid-identification of Sir Richard Stafford's 2nd wife Maud as the daughter of John Stafford of Bramshall and his wife Elizabeth Somerville and the widow of Edmund Vernon is a long-standing error appearing in many sources - including both the 1st and 2nd Richardson editions of Magna Carta Ancestry (followup by John Higgins in this thread) [Ref: Douglas Richardson SGM 9/9/2020-152319]
