Henry Manners, 2nd Earl of Rutland

Henry Manners, 2nd Earl of Rutland, 14th Baron de Ros of Helmsley, KG was an English nobleman. He also held the title of 13th Baron de Ros of Hamlake, a title to which he acceded in 1543.

After the untimely death of Edward VI in 1553, and the subsequent death of Edward Courtenay 1st Earl of Devon in 1556, Rutland stood as Heir presumptive as the senior male descendent of Richard 3rd Duke of York. James VII, the son of Mary Queen of Scots would not be born until 1566. His descent can be traced through Anne of York, Duchess of Exeter.
