Those Staffords again

The Buckingham duchy was revived by the early 17th century. Was the new Duke (James I's favourite) related to the Staffords or was it a clean break?

Clean break I believe. Villiers was a member of the gentry rather
than nobility. However I can doublr check in case there was an
obscure link, but the book is at work...

George Villiers was the new Duke, a common lad who James had taken a fancy
to. No connection with any noble family as far as I know, certainly not the
Staffords.
