  • Notes 
    • KINSHIP: 3rd son. (Dwnn, Heraldic Visitations of Wales, vol. 2 p. 197 fn. 8)

      DISTINCTION: Esquire. (J-Morris, Shropshire Genealogies, vol. 4 p. 1976)

      ACHIEVEMENT: Standard-bearer to Richard III at the battle of Bosworth.

      LIVING: 1456.
      RESIDENCE: Ewlo Castle. (Lloyd, History of the Princes, the Lords Marcher and the Ancient Nobility of Powys Fadog, vol. 5 p. 132)
      RESIDENCE: Ewlowe. (Ormerod, The History of the County Palatine and City of Chester, vol. 2 Edition 2 p. 682)
      RESIDENCE: Hwttwn. (Vaughan, Llyfr Achau Robert Vaughan, Peniarth 287, p. 398: 387H)

      REMARKS: Sir Pirs (William) Stanley was the man who, by surrounding Richard III, at the critical moment, decided the fate of the battle of Bosworth. (Dwnn, Heraldic Visitations of Wales, vol. 2 p. 316 fn. 9)
      REMARKS: He turned traitor to his Sovereign. (Dwnn, Heraldic Visitations of Wales, vol. 2 p. 316 fn. 9)
      REMARKS: He commanded 3000 men. (Dwnn, Heraldic Visitations of Wales, vol. 2 p. 316 fn. 9)
    • (Research):REMARKS: Bartrum's 'Welsh Genealogies 1400-1500' volume 10 page 1619 states that there is confusion in the pedigrees as a result of the four named Pirs. 'Dwnn, Heraldic Visitations of Wales' volume 2 pages 115, 283-284 and 316 seems to be the most reliable. But a conflict is made in Bartrum's 'Welsh Genealogies 1400-1500' volume 10 page 1619 by calling him Pirs. 'Dwnn, Heraldic Visitations of Wales' volume 2 pages 284 and 316 calls him William.
      REMARKS: 'Dwnn, Heraldic Visitations of Wales' volume 2 page 382 states that part of this pedigree is at variance with the one of the same family in Ormerod's History of Cheshire; nor is it reconcilable with the account of the Savages of Cliftonn, as given in the same work. It also differs materially from other pedigrees of the Stanley family. Vincent #135 folio 298 has Thomas Stanley, living 1622, son of Peter (Pirs) Stanley and Constance Salisbury, son of Peter (Pirs) Stanley of Ewlo, Flint, and Margaret daughter of John Parker, son of Peter (Pirs) Stanley and Margery Heghleigh, son of Sir William Stanley of Hooton. This version inserts an extra generation of a Pirs married to a Margaret Parker.

      KINSHIP: Conflict/Error> J-Morris' 'Shropshire Genealogies' volume 4 page 1976 makes him the son of Sir William Stanley, Knight, and Anne Harrington.
      MARRIAGE: Conflict/Error> J-Morris' 'Shropshire Genealogies' volume 4 page 1976 gives him a second marriage to Hannah ferch Hywel ap Tudur of Mostyn, but she is really Angharad ferch Hywel and was married to his brother Edmund.
      OFFICE: Conflict/Error> J-Morris' 'Shropshire Genealogies' volume 4 page 1976 states he was Constable of Harlech Castle, but this was his grandson Pirs.
      OFFICE: Conflict/Error> J-Morris' 'Shropshire Genealogies' volume 4 page 1976 states he was Sheriff and Escheater of Merioneth in 1509, but this was his grandson Pirs.
