Royal Grant Permitting Men of Isle of Man to Treat with Scots, 1343

Source
24 September 1343

A medieval royal charter (14th century) granting permission to the men of the Isle of Man to negotiate truces and conduct trade with Scotland, even with enemies of the Crown, provided they do not supply arms or provisions. Presented in both English translation and original Latin. This establishes early precedent for Manx autonomy in foreign relations and commercial matters.
