Pauline Stafford fait ses études d'histoire médiévale à Oxford. Sa thèse de doctorat sur Æthelred le Malavisé est réalisée sous la direction de l'historien français Pierre Chaplais(en)[2].
Son travail porte sur l'histoire des femmes et du genre en Angleterre du VIIIe au début du XIIe siècle, et l'histoire franque aux VIIIe et IXe siècles. Elle s’intéresse également aux Chroniques anglo-saxonnes d'après Alfred.
