Magna Carta Project

Elizabeth (Hopton) Stanley appears in Magna Carta Ancestry in a Richardson-documented trail from Gateway Ancestor Nathaniel Littleton to Magna Carta Surety Baron William de Mowbray (vol. III, pages 33-35 LITTLETON). This trail was identified by the Magna Carta Project and reviewed/approved in December 2017. A trail from Littleton to the Bigods (Hugh and Roger) was also completed/approved in December 2017 by Liz Shifflett. Other trails from Gateway Litttleton to the Clares (Richard and Gilbert), John de Lacy and Saher de Quincy were previously badged in another trail. Each of these trails are outlined in the Magna Carta Trails section of the Gateway's profile.

Elizabeth (Hopton) Stanley appears in Magna Carta Ancestry in a Richardson-documented trail from Gateway Ancestor Richard More, to Magna Carta Surety Baron William de Mowbray (vol. III, pages 173-175 MORE). This trail was developed by the Magna Carta project in February 2020 by Thiessen-117 and was reviewed/approved/badged 28 May 2020. Also at this time, other badged trails were identified by the Project from More to surety barons Gilbert de Clare, Richard de Clare, John de Lacy, Saher de Quincy, Hugh le Bigod and Roger le Bigod. All of these trails are set out in the Magna Carta Trails section of Katherine More's profile.
