Stanley family, Lords of Aldford
Dates: Fifteenth century to 1495 in the Aldford descent
Biography
The Stanley family held Aldford after the Arderne inheritance passed through marriage. The available account records a later sale by Sir John Stanley of Elford to Sir William Stanley of Holt.
Notes / Sources
The family-period entry avoids treating every Stanley genealogical relationship as a documented manor conveyance.
