- Oaths of the Twenty-Four Keys before and after the 1765 Revestment
- Description
- Comparative text of the oath sworn by members of the House of Keys (Tynwald's lower house) before and after the 1765 Revestment. The pre-Revestment oath pledged allegiance to the Duke of Atholl as Lord of Man; the post-Revestment version transfers allegiance to the Crown. This document is part of a 1792 Commissioners' Inquiry report and directly illustrates the constitutional shift effected by the Revestment.
