Notes about James Stanley 7th Earl Derby

Documented Here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Stanley,_7th_Earl_of_Derby

 

James Stanley, 7th Earl of Derby KG (31 January 1607 – 15 October 1651) was a supporter of the Royalist cause in the English Civil War. Before inheriting the title in 1642 he was known as Lord Strange.[1] In the Isle of Man, as Lord of Mann, he was known as "Yn Stanlagh Mooar" ("the Great Stanley").

 

James Stanley,the eldest son of William Stanley, 6th Earl of Derby and Elizabeth de Vere, daughter of Edward, 17th Earl of Oxford, was born at Knowsley on 31 January 1607.[2]

After travelling abroad he was chosen Member of Parliament for Liverpool in 1625.[3] On 2 February 1626,[citation needed] James was created a Knight of the Bath on occasion of the coronation of Charles I of England. He was joined with his father the same year as Lord Lieutenant of Lancashire, Lord Lieutenant of Cheshire and chamberlain of Chester. He assisted in the administration of the Isle of Man[3] and was appointed in 1627 as Lord of Mann.[citation needed] Subsequently he was appointed lord-lieutenant of North Wales and on 7 March 1628 he was called up to the House of Lords as Baron Strange.[3]

 

Lord Derby was a man of deep religious feeling and of great nobility of character, who though unsuccessful in the field served the king's cause with single-minded purpose and without expectation of reward. His political usefulness was handicapped in the later stages of the struggle by his dislike of the Scots, whom he regarded as guilty of Charles I's death and as unfit instruments of the Restoration.[3] According to Clarendon he was "a man of great honour and clear courage",[3] and his defects the result of too little knowledge of the world.[3]

 

Lord Derby married on 26 June 1626 Charlotte (1599–1664), daughter of Claude, duc de Thouars and Countess Charlotte Brabantina of Nassau.[3] Her maternal grandparents were William the Silent and Charlotte of Bourbon. They were parents of four daughters and five sons:[3]

Charles's two sons, William, the 9th Earl (c. 1655–1702), and James, the 10th Earl (1664–1736), both died without sons, and consequently, when James died in February 1736, his titles and estates passed to Sir Edward Stanley (1689–1776), a descendant of the 1st Earl. The Earls of Derby are his descendants.[3] Meanwhile, the Barony of Strange passed in 1736 to the 2nd Duke of Atholl, grandson of James's daughter Amelia (see above).[
