- Biography
- First Stanley Lord of Mann, granted the lordship by Henry IV in 1405 — a lifetime grant made inheritable the following year. He never visited the Island. He governed through deputies, as most of his successors would. The grant was made 'to Sir John Stanley and his heirs for ever' — language of perpetuity that Parliament would extinguish in 1765.
