- James Stanley
- Biography
- Probably one of the ablest of his family, his method of government, together with its effect on the Manx people, by whom he was called Yn Stanlagh Mooar, 'The Great Stanley,' is sufficiently interesting and important to be told at some length. Lord of Mann from 1607, he codified Manx law, strengthened Tynwald, and governed with a directness that earned both respect and the Manx language honour of a personal name.
