  === Life Sketch ===
  Sir John Stanley, Knight, was Sheriff of Anglesey, Constable of Carnarvon, Justice of Chester, Steward of Macclesfield and titular King of Mann, the second of that name. [A 'titular' means a position or title that is purely formal without any real authority.]
  His father Sir John Stanley I, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, had been granted the tenure of the Isle of Man, to him and his heirs, by Henry IV, and the younger Sir John succeeded to the Kingdom in 1414. He also held the office of Steward of Macclesfield, Cheshire.
  
  He twice visited the Island to put down rebellions (1417 and 1422) and was also responsible for putting the laws of the Island into writing. A brief description is given in Manx Notebook (vol iii p1-4).
  
  A. W. Moore, a Manx antiquary and Speaker of the House of Keys,[1] appraised him as follows:
  "He may justly be considered an enlightened and upright ruler, much in advance of his time. He caused the ancient laws and constitutions of his little kingdom to be reduced to writing, he humbled the overbearing ecclesiastical authorities, and, after he had practically concentrated all power into his own hands, he wisely conceded a representative form of government."[2]
  He purchased the Advowson of Rectory of Winwick, Cheshire from the Nostell Priory, Wakefield in 1433 - from this time onwards, this church, adjacent to his property, was to have close links with the Stanley family.
  He married Elizabeth Harrington, daughter of Sir Nicholas Harrington.[3] One of his sons was Sir Thomas Stanley, 1st Baron Stanley, and a grandson was Thomas Stanley, 1st Earl of Derby.

  Note:
  AR has Isabel as a daughter of Robert Harington, and MCS has her daughter of Nicholas, while BP & CP have her as daughter of John. MCS, AR, & BP have her of Hornby Castle. AR does not explain how she came to be in Hornby. There is an Isabel Harington of Hornby Castle, b. c 1404, daughter of William Harington, who received Hornby in marriage from Margaret Neville. They, as far as I know are the first Haringtons at Hornby, too late to be connected to this Isabel. William's
  father Nicholas (who may be the one referred to by MCS) was of Farleton (unless he moved in with his son).
  Note:
  The newsgroup, soc.genealogy.medieval, has a posting from Brice Clagett, 2 July 2001, purporting that Isabel is daughter of Nicholas (agreeing with MCS). However this requires Sir Nicholas to have two daughter named Isabel (his first Isabel m. Sir Thomas Tunstall)

  Dear newsgroup ~ Note:
  In answer to the various posts about Isabel Harington, wife of Sir John Stanley, although sources vary as to her parentage, I've proven she [is] definitely the daughter of Sir Nicholas Harington. Sir Nicholas also had a much older daughter named Isabel who married Sir Thomas Tunstall. So, it would appear there were two daughters named Isabel in this generation. Curiously, I find some secondary sources which give Sir John Stanley's wife as Elizabeth, rather than Isabel. If true, then it is also possible that one daughter was actually named Elizabeth, and the other named Isabel. Also, it is possible that the two women had different mothers. The two women appear to have been about twenty years apart in age.
  Note:
  I've confirmed from a contemporary record that Sir Thomas Tunstall's wife was definitely named Isabel. I understand there is a papal grant to Sir John Stanley and his wife which I have not seen. Perhaps someone can check the published papal
  documents for this grant and post it for the newsgroup. Hopefully Sir John Stanley's wife's name is given in this record.

  He is called the King of Mann, which is a strictly titular designation, which means "holding or constituting a purely formal position or title WITHOUT any real authority". His father in 1405 he was granted the tenure of the Isle of Man which means he was actually the Lord of Mann, which is what the holder of the tenure is called today. Since 1399, the kings and lords of Mann were vassals of the kings of England, and subsequently of Great Britain, who was the ultimate sovereign of the island.
