Mallet's Northern Antiquities: Scandinavian conquest and sovereignty of Isle of Man and northern isles
Description
Extract from Paul Henri Mallet's 1770 work on Northern Antiquities, tracing Scandinavian (Norwegian and Danish) conquest and control of the Isle of Man and northern islands. Covers the 1266 sale of the Hebrides and Isle of Man to Scotland by Magnus Lagabætter, the 1468 mortgage of Orkney and Shetland to James III of Scotland, and the persistence of Norse law and language into the 17th century. Provides historical context for understanding pre-Revestment sovereignty claims over the Isle of Man.
