The number of knights was originally 26, and accordingly the stalls were numbered from 1 (Sovereign's stall) to 26, with the odd numbers on the south side and the even numbers on the north side (that is the system used in earlier reference works such as Ashmole and Joseph Pote, 1749). In the 19th century, with the admission of foreign knights and Princes of the Blood Royal, the number of stalls in use increased. Fellowes decided to number the stalls on each side, S1 to S27 on the south side and N1 to N27 on the north side. The older number, when applicable, is between parentheses. The dates are those of investiture or installation, unless followed by el, in which case they are the date of election.

Originally a knight was assigned to a stall and remained there. Starting in the 16th century, knights changed stalls based on seniority as vacencies opened among better-positioned stalls. Up to the early 16th c., documents exist that list the succession of knights for each stall. Fellowes publishes that list.

****************I have found 9 of my ancestors bearing the Stafford surname in the list below. The list is from www.heraldica.org/

Stalls of the Earlier Knights
These lists show the succession of the knights from 1348 to 1509 in each stall. The dates are those of election, since rarely are investitures and installation dates known. When a knight was transferred to a different stall, the original date of election is between square brackets. Those knights whose plates are still in the stall are marked with a * (113 out of 264). The stalls are numbered the old way, with Fellowes' numbering between parentheses.
