The de Trafford Baronets descended from a pre-Conquest-founded line of lords of the manor who were wealthy in the Middle Ages and whose titles were reinstated in the mid-19th century due to recusancy — a term coined to describe the minority of English who remained Roman Catholic during and after the Reformation in a time of significant religious persecution.
