Edward Stanley, Third Earl of Derby, K.G.
Edward, Lord High-Steward at the coronation of Queen Mary, and Chamberla in of Chester in the reign of Elizabeth, so celebrated for magnificence a nd liberality that Camden says, "that with Edward, Earl of Derby's deat h, the glory of hospitality seemed to fall asleep." His lordship died Octo ber 24, 1572, and was succeeded by his eldest son by his first wife, Dorot hy Howard, daughter of the 2nd Duke of Norfolk.
Edward's second wife was Margaret Barlow, daughter of Ellis Barlos, Co. La ncs.
His third wife was Mary Cotton, daughter of Sir George Cotton on Comberme re (Kent) Co., Chester. Mary married secondly Henry Grey, the 6th Ea rl of Kent and died 16 November 1580.
At heart, Edward was a Catholic, but belonged politically to neither the C atholic or Protestant religions. He was made a Knight of the Garter in 154 8, and was appointed one of the commissioners for advancing the Reformatio n. But, in the beginning of 1549, when the first act of uniformity was pas sed, he strongly resisted the disense of the missal and three years lat er (1552) protested against the act. His son, Henry, nevertheless was br ed a strict Protestant.
Edward was the first Earl of Derby to be buried at Ormskirk. His will orde red a chapel be erected and a tomb prepared and has since been a burial pl ace of his family and his successors. ("The House of Stanley" by Peter Dra per, 1864.)
Earl Edward was one of twenty statesmen, whom Queen Elizabeth chose for h er Privy counsellors, an office he held in the reign of Queen Mary.
