Name: Edward II resumes possession of the Isle of Man, 1310
Description: Royal writ from Edward II to Henry de Bello Monte (or his lieutenant) commanding the resumption of the Isle of Man into the king's hands. The revocation follows ordinances made by prelates, earls and barons chosen on 16 March 1310 to regulate the royal household and kingdom, which invalidated all grants of castles, lands, and other properties made since that date. The Isle is to be delivered to Gilbert Makaskel and Robert de Leiburn, constable of Cokermouth Castle. This document illustrates medieval royal sovereignty over Man and the reversibility of feudal grants.
