Summary

DescriptionOrdsall Hall 2014 04.jpg	English: Stained glass at Ordsall Hall, Salford, Lancashire, the arms of Edward Stanley, 3rd Earl of Derby, 11th Baron Strange, 7th Baron Mohun (1509-1572), KG, showing the arms of Stanley, grand quarterly of four, circumscribed by the Garter: 1: quarterly of 4: 1&4:Stanley; 2:Lathom (blank); 3: de Warenne, Earl of Surrey; 2&3: King of Man; 4: quarterly of 4: 1&4: Strange of Knockyn; 2: Woodville; 3: Mohun of Dunster Castle, Baron Mohun. Edward’s father, the 2nd Earl of Derby, was also Baron Mohun and Baron Strange but was not a Knight of the Garter With inescutcheon of pretence overall, erased, possibly Azure, a lion rampant argent, frequently shown in this position. (Per Fox-Davies, Arthur Charles, Complete Guide to Heraldry, 1909, referring to a similar Stanley shield: "The arms on the escutcheon of pretence .... seem difficult to account for unless they are a coat for Rivers or some other territorial lordship inherited from the Wydeville family. The full identification of the quarterings borne by Anthony, Lord Rivers, would probably help in determining the point". See File:Complete Guide to Heraldry Fig755.png) All circumscribed by the Garter.

Note: The reference (Fig755 in Fox-Davies' "Complete Guide to Heraldry,") states that these are the "arms of Thomas Stanley, Earl of Derby, (d. 1572.)" The death date, (actually that of Henry, 3rd Earl of Derby,) does not tally with the name. The arms however could be (subsequent to the death of his father-in-law) those of George Stanley KG, died 1503, 9th Lord Strange, son of 1st Earl of Derby and husband of Joan, heiress of 8th Lord Strange of Knockyn. The quarter would not have been used by George's father, 1st Earl of Derby. The arms could have been used (without the Garter) by George's son Thomas, 2nd Earl of Derby or (with the Garter) by Henry, 3rd Earl. The arms on the escutcheon, pace Fox-Davies, probably do not relate to inheritance from Rivers/Woodville, (which would have been via Joan Strange,) because the escutcheon can be seen (e.g. over the porch of St John's church, Sampford Peverell, Devon,) on the arms of Thomas Stanley 1st Earl of Derby.
