- Biography
- Granted the Isle of Man to Sir John Stanley in 1405 — the foundational act of the Stanley lordship. A lifetime grant at first, made inheritable the following year. The Latin was explicit about what had been surrendered: the Crown released whatever right it had, whatever right it had had, and whatever right it might in future be able to claim. Four hundred and thirty-two years later, Parliament would take the Island back, and the men who drafted the Act of Revestment would show no awareness that the Crown had ever made such a renunciation.
