Petition respecting the Isle of Man regarding Stanley inheritance dispute
Description
A 1607 petition submitted to the Crown concerning the succession to the Isle of Man following the death of Ferdinando, Earl of Derby. The petition traces the Stanley family's 200-year tenure under a grant from Henry IV, details the dispute between William (heir male) and Ferdinando's three daughters (heirs general), and complains that the Attorney General has challenged the original grant on technical legal grounds, preventing the rightful heirs from taking possession.
