Name
Letter of Reginald, King of the Isles, to Pope Honorius III on Feoffment and Tribute for Isle of Man
Description
A Latin and English transcription of a 1219 letter from Reginald, King of the Isles, to Pope Honorius III documenting the formal feoffment of the Isle of Man to the Roman Church and the establishment of an annual tribute of twelve marks sterling. The document records the ecclesiastical investiture and witnesses, and is foundational to understanding the island's medieval constitutional status and the layered sovereignty claims that would later affect the 1765 Revestment.
