From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ralph the Staller (or Radulf stalre (meaning Ralph the Constable) or Ralph the Englishman) (c. 1011-1068) was a landowner in both Anglo-Saxon and post-Conquest England.

He is said to have been born in Norfolk of Breton parentage. He survived the Conquest of 1066 and rose in the favour of William the Conqueror, who made him the first Earl of Norfolk and Suffolk. He married and had several children, including his heir, Ralph de Guader.
