John Stanley (KG)

Sir John Stanley, KG (c. 1350–1414) of Lathom, near Ormskirk in Lancashire, was Lord Lieutenant of Ireland and titular King of Mann, the first of that name. He married a potential heiress, Isabel Lathom, and several unexpected deaths soon made her very wealthy. This marriage, combined with his own abilities, allowed him to rise above the usual status of a younger son.
