Source
Thursday, 24 March 1305

A charter issued by Aufrica de Connaught, heiress of the Isle of Man, in 1305, formally transferring her rights and inheritance in Man to Simon de Montacute, a knight. The document commands the people of Man to receive Montacute as their lord and render him the same obedience and service they would have rendered to Aufrica. This represents a key moment in medieval Manx succession and feudal authority.
