Name

Stanley Grant

Description

Henry IV granted the lordship of Mann to Sir John Stanley in 1405 (lifetime grant), re-granted as inheritable on 6 April 1406. The Stanley dynasty would hold the Island for over two and a half centuries. The grant came after Percy's rebellion — the Island as political reward. The family that bet on Henry at Bosworth would later collect the earldom of Derby.
