Thomas Stanley of Grangegorman

Sir Thomas Stanley (1626 – 27 August 1674) was an English politician who sat in the Parliament of Ireland MP for County Tipperary and Waterford and Louth in the Restoration Parliament, 1661–62.[1] He joined the Privy Council of Ireland in March 1674.[2]

He acquired the manor of Grangegorman, Dublin. Stanley was knighted by Henry Cromwell on 24 January 1659 at Dublin Castle.[3][4][5]

Along with another parliamentarian Sir Anthony Morgan, Sir Thomas was implicated in the notorious Blood plot of 1663, in which Thomas Blood had planned to kidnap the Duke of Ormond, the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, from Dublin Castle. Sir Thomas and Sir Anthony wrote "obsequious letters" to Ormond proclaiming their innocence and devotion to him.[1]

Stanely married Jane Borrowes. They had several children including Thomas Stanley's son and heir Sir John Stanley, 1st Baronet.[6] He was buried at St. Michans, Dublin, 2 September 1674.

gollark: https://osmarks.tk/stuff has a lot of files in it, for example, but you can't tell what or how many without bruteforcing it or having me check on the server itself.

gollark: You could just not tell people the URL and have directory indexes off.

gollark: Anyway, the problem with this whole "make it so you can't read the code" thing is that that ends up being security through obscurity, which is doomed to fail through reverse engineering or someone finding the code.

gollark: PotatOS does that with thousands of lines of code and it's barely reliable.
