George Waldron (d. c. 1731) was an English writer who spent several years on the Isle of Man and published *A Description of the Isle of Man* (1731). His account is one of the most important early descriptions of Manx life, customs and folklore, and remains a valuable primary source for the study of the Island's social history in the early eighteenth century.

George Wilks was connected to the prominent Wilks family on the Isle of Man, which included the Reverend James Wilks and his son Colonel Mark Wilks.

Gerhard Bersu (1889-1964) was a German archaeologist who was interned on the Isle of Man during the Second World War as an enemy alien. During his internment, he conducted pioneering excavations of Viking and Celtic sites on the Island, including the round house sites at Ballacagen and Ballanorris, which transformed understanding of the Island's prehistoric settlement.

Godred Crovan (d. 1095), known in Manx tradition as King Gorree, was a Norse warrior who conquered the Isle of Man around 1079 and founded a dynasty that ruled the Kingdom of Mann and the Isles for nearly two centuries. According to the Chronicle of Man, he prevailed in his third attempt to take the Island and established a system of governance that endured until the end of Norse rule.

Henry Brougham Loch, 1st Baron Loch (1827-1900), served as Lieutenant-Governor of the Isle of Man from 1863 to 1882. His tenure saw significant administrative and constitutional developments on the Island, including reforms to the House of Keys and improvements to infrastructure.

Governor Lloyd served as Governor of the Isle of Man and presided over a counterfeiting case that demonstrated the Manx constitutional system in operation. When a Grand Jury acquitted a man to avoid a capital sentence, the Keys found the proceedings irregular and fined the jurors. Lloyd heard their petition, reduced the fines, and restored them, ruling that their error was the result of ignorance and misunderstanding of the law, not wilful error.

Mark Hildesley Smith served as Lieutenant-Governor of the Isle of Man. He was notably critical of the influence of Charles Lutwidge, the Treasury's customs enforcer who operated on the Island after the 1765 Revestment.

Grey Cooper (c. 1726-1801) served as Secretary to the Treasury and was closely involved in the financial and administrative arrangements surrounding the 1765 Revestment of the Isle of Man. He played a key role in implementing Treasury policy on the Island during the transition from Atholl to Crown rule.

Harald Hardrada (c. 1015-1066) was King of Norway from 1046 to 1066. He exercised overlordship over the Norse kingdom of Mann and the Isles during his reign, and his defeat and death at the Battle of Stamford Bridge in 1066 had significant consequences for the Norse territories in the Irish Sea, including the Isle of Man.

Henry Addington, 1st Viscount Sidmouth (1757-1844), served as Prime Minister from 1801 to 1804. His connection to the Isle of Man relates to the continuing negotiations between the Crown and the Atholl family over compensation and residual rights following the Revestment.

Henry IV (1367-1413) was King of England from 1399 to 1413. In 1405, he granted the lordship of Mann to Sir John Stanley and his heirs, establishing the Stanley family's rule over the Island that would last until the execution of James Stanley, 7th Earl of Derby, in 1651.

Henry Nowell served as Deputy Governor of the Isle of Man under his brother Colonel Roger Nowell, the Governor appointed by the 8th Earl of Derby. He presided over the trial and execution of William Christian (Illiam Dhone) in 1662-1663. His private correspondence, preserved in the Kenyon Papers at Lancashire Archives, shows he considered the outcome predetermined before proceedings began. After the execution, he evaded the Privy Council's summons by hiding in Lancashire and eventually returned to the Island, where he spent the rest of his life.

Henry Pelham (c. 1694-1754) served as Prime Minister from 1743 to 1754. His government considered measures to address the smuggling trade centred on the Isle of Man, laying the groundwork for the Revestment that would follow under his successors.

Henry VII (1457-1509) was King of England from 1485 to 1509 and the first Tudor monarch. His victory at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485, in which Thomas Stanley and his brother William Stanley played decisive roles, cemented the Stanley family's position as Lords of Mann. His mother, Margaret Beaufort, was married to Thomas Stanley, 1st Earl of Derby.

Henry VIII (1491-1547) was King of England from 1509 to 1547. During his reign, the lordship of Mann continued under the Stanley family, and the Island was affected by the wider religious changes of the English Reformation, including the dissolution of Rushen Abbey.

Hugh Bainbridge was a Manx sailor who served at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. He was twenty-four years old and lost his right arm in the battle.

Hugh Cosnahan was a member of the Cosnahan family of the Isle of Man, which had a long history of service in the Manx Church and public life.

John Christian Curwen (1756-1828) was a Manx-descended politician and agricultural reformer who represented Carlisle in Parliament for over thirty years. Born John Christian of Ewanrigg and Milntown, he took the name Curwen on inheriting Workington Hall. He was a member of the House of Keys and a vigorous opponent of the Duke of Atholl's claims, and his agricultural innovations benefited both Cumberland and the Isle of Man.

Jacob Osorio Davids was a member of the small Jewish trading community that operated on the Isle of Man during the eighteenth century, connected to the Island's commercial and smuggling networks.

James Brown was the owner of the *Isle of Man Times* who continued the press campaign for reform of the House of Keys in the 1860s, succeeding Robert Fargher. He reported on Keys proceedings, was summoned before the House, and refused to apologise. His stand contributed to the passage of the House of Keys Election Act of 1866.

James Chaloner (d. 1660) served as Governor of the Isle of Man from 1658 under the Commonwealth, having previously sat among the judges at the trial of Charles I. He wrote *A Short Treatise of the Isle of Man* (1656), an important early account of the Island's laws, customs, and natural history. He laid charges of financial mismanagement against William Christian (Illiam Dhone), who secretly departed the Island in June 1659, after which Chaloner sequestered his estates. Chaloner died between 2 and 30 July 1660, shortly after proclaiming Charles II on the Island.

James Christian was a Manx emigrant who settled in the Cleveland, Ohio area during the nineteenth century, forming part of the significant Manx community that established itself in the industrial cities of the American Midwest.
