Charles Stanley, 8th Earl of Derby (19 January 1628 – 21 December 1672) was an English nobleman and politician. He was the only son of James Stanley, 7th Earl of Derby and Charlotte de La Trémouille.

Life

As Lord Strange, he took little part in the English Civil War. In France at the time of his father's condemnment in 1651, he petitioned unsuccessfully for the latter's life. After succeeding to the Earldom, he lived quietly at Bidston Hall, Cheshire, emerging to support Booth's unsuccessful rising in 1659. Attainted for so doing, he was restored the following year and the family's lands in the Isle of Man were returned to him. {{citation needed|date=April 2010}}

He served as mayor of Liverpool, between 1666 and 1667.^[1]

Marriage & progeny

In 1650 he married Dorothea Helena Kirkhoven (died 1674), daughter of Jehan, Lord of Heenvliet of Holland, one of the diplomats involved in negotiating the marriage between William II, Prince of Orange and Mary, the Princess Royal, daughter of King Charles I, future parents of King William III of England. Dorothea's mother was Katherine Wotton, widow of

Henry Stanhope, Lord Stanhope (d.1634), 2nd surviving son of Philip Stanhope, 1st Earl of Chesterfield and the elder daughter of Thomas Wotton, 2nd Baron Wotton by his wife Mary Throckmorton, a daughter of Sir Arthur Throckmorton of Paulerspury, Northamptonshire. By his wife he had progeny as follows:

William Stanley, 9th Earl of Derby (c.1655-1702), eldest son and heir, who died without male progeny.
James Stanley, 10th Earl of Derby (1664-1736), youngest son, who succeeded his elder brother in the earldom.

Wife's royal affair

Dorothea reportedly had an extramarital tryst with King Charles II which resulted in a child:

George "Swan" (born 1658), who was raised by the wife of a gunner at Windsor Castle named Swan, and himself adopted the surname Swan.^[2]
