Source
9 August 1334
A bilingual (Latin/English) transcription of a 1334 royal charter in which King Edward III, with consent of Parliament, releases and quitclaims all royal right and title to the Isle of Man to William de Monte Acuto. This document is foundational to understanding pre-Revestment claims to Manx sovereignty and establishes the legal precedent for private feudal lordship of the island.
