1186

A papal bull from Pope Urban III (1186) confirming Furness Abbey's possessions, liberties, and immunities granted by English kings including Henry II and the kings of the Isles (Olave and Godred). The document is relevant to understanding the medieval ecclesiastical and political structure of the Isle of Man, particularly the relationship between the Isles and the English Crown, and provides context for the sovereignty issues that would culminate in the 1765 Revestment.
