Manx merchant and profiteer who exploited the Revestment for personal advantage. His name appears 41 times across the Manx Museum archive index, a measure of his entanglement in the island's affairs. Connected to both the old mercantile establishment and the new revenue system.

Customs officer appointed to Mann after the Revestment. Member of a dynasty that embedded itself in the island's revenue administration, creating a systematic conflict of interest between enforcement and personal profit. The Lutwidge family's rapacity became a running theme of post-Revestment extraction.

Daughter of the 2nd Duke and holder of inherited rights in Mann. After her father's death she pursued the compensation claim with tenacity, eventually securing additional payments from Parliament. The Duchess was the figure who would not let the financial settlement rest, forcing Parliament to acknowledge repeatedly that the original purchase was inadequate.

Lord of Mann from 1736 to 1765, the last private holder of the title. Governed largely from a distance, visiting the island rarely. His acceptance of Parliament's forced purchase in 1765 ended three and a half centuries of feudal lordship. The purchase price of £70,000 — negotiated under duress — was widely regarded as inadequate.

Merchant, landowner, and the most documented private individual in eighteenth-century Mann. His Letter Books, preserved at Bridge House and now in the Manx Museum, provide the richest surviving account of Manx commercial and social life before the Revestment. Moore traded across the Irish Sea, built roads at his own expense, and recorded everything.

Bishop of Sodor and Man from 1698 to 1755, the longest episcopate in the history of the diocese. Wilson built schools, translated the Bible into Manx, enforced ecclesiastical discipline with a rigour that earned him both admiration and enemies, and became inseparable from the island's identity. His fifty-seven year episcopate shaped Manx society more profoundly than any lord.

William Christian, known universally by his Manx name Illiam Dhone (Brown-haired William), was Receiver General of the Isle of Man. In 1651, faced with a Parliamentary fleet and an absent lord, he led the Manx militia in surrendering the island rather than see it destroyed in a war that was not theirs. He was tried and executed at Hango Hill in 1663 on the orders of the restored Countess, becoming the most resonant figure in Manx national memory.

Probably one of the ablest of his family, his method of government, together with its effect on the Manx people, by whom he was called Yn Stanlagh Mooar, 'The Great Stanley,' is sufficiently interesting and important to be told at some length. Lord of Mann from 1607, he codified Manx law, strengthened Tynwald, and governed with a directness that earned both respect and the Manx language honour of a personal name.
