Act of Settlement 1703/4 — Manx land rights and the end of feudal tenure
Description
A web-based historical summary of the 1703/4 Act of Settlement (Act of Tynwald), which granted Manx farmers/tenants the right to possess and alienate their land, ending a century of feudal discontent under the Seventh Earl of Derby. The page contextualises the act as the Manx equivalent of Magna Carta and credits Bishop Wilson as the reform agent.
