Biography
The Crown took Aldford after the forfeiture of Sir William Stanley's estate in 1495. The later date of regrant or sale is not securely identified in the available public sources.
Notes / Sources
The Crown's interest is distinguished from private lordship because the source describes seizure and forfeiture.
