- Annulment of outlawry of Donekan Mactoryn by Scottish King (1293)
- Description
- A royal charter issued by the King of Scotland (superior lord of the Isle of Man) annulling the outlawry of Donekan Mactoryn, who had been declared an outlaw by Walter de Huntercumbe, bailiff of the Island, for offences against the peace. The charter states that upon inspection, a manifest error was found in the original trial and outlawry record, leading to its complete annulment. This document demonstrates early Scottish sovereignty over the Isle of Man and the operation of medieval justice and royal authority over the Island.
