 He was the son of Henry Stanley, 4th Earl of Derby and Lady Margaret Clifford.

 His sudden death led to suspicions of poisoning amid fears of Catholic plots to overthrow Elizabeth.
Sir Roger Townshend (c.1544 – 30 June 1590) was an English nobleman, politician, soldier, and knight.
 He was the son of Sir Richard Townshend (died 1551) and Katherine Browne.
 He spent much of his career in the service of Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk, and Norfolk's son and heir, Philip Howard, 20th Earl of Arundel.

 He married Sarah Inwen, daughter of Thomas Inwen and Sarah Hucks, on 13 May 1735, but died on 22 April 1745 at age 39 with no surviving issue and no brothers to whom the title could be passed.
 The line of Earls of Suffolk back to Henry's great-great grandfather Thomas Howard, 1st Earl of Suffolk thus died out, and the title passed to a great grandson of the 1st Earl (via the 1st Earl's second son Thomas), Henry Howard, 4th Earl of Berkshire.
Earl of Berkshire is a title that has been created twice in the Peerage of England.
 It was created for the first time in 1621 for Francis Norris, 1st Earl of Berkshire.
 For more information on this creation (which became extinct on his death in 1622), see the Earl of Abingdon and also the Earl of Lindsey.
 The second creation came in 1626 in favour of Thomas Howard, 1st Viscount Andover.
 He was the second son of Thomas Howard, 1st Earl of Suffolk, second son of the second marriage of Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk.
 His mother was Katherine, daughter of Sir Henry Knyvett of Charlton in Wiltshire.
 Howard had already been created Baron Howard of Charlton, in the County of Wiltshire, and Viscount Andover, in the County of Southampton, in 1622.
 These titles are also in the Peerage of England.
 Lord Berkshire succeeded to the Charlton estate through his mother in 1638.
 He was succeeded by his eldest son, the second Earl.
 He had already in 1640 been summoned to the House of Lords through a writ of acceleration in his father's junior title of Baron Howard of Charlton.
 He had no sons and on his death in 1679 the titles passed to his younger brother, the third Earl.
 He represented Wallingford in the House of Commons.
 He also died without male issue and was succeeded by his great-nephew, the fourth Earl.
 He was the grandson of the Hon. William Howard, fourth son of the first Earl.
 In 1745 he succeeded his third cousin as eleventh Earl of Suffolk.

 Authorities differ in their opinions, and thus alternative ordinal numbers exist, given here.
