About
The Manners family trace their origin to late medieval gentry. Thomas Maners, a great favourite of King Henry VIII, was created an Earl, and they have maintained their place in the high nobility without much commotion since then. The Duke recently celebrated his family’s 500th year living in Belvoir Castle, a spectacular though partly Victorian stately home.
