Source
10 June 1194
A papal bull issued by Pope Celestine III in 1194 confirming Furness Abbey's ecclesiastical rights and liberties in the churches of Dalton and Ursewie, and protecting the monastery's independence from episcopal interference. The document references the authority granted by the Kings of the Isles (Olaws and Godred) and provides important medieval evidence of Isle of Man's ecclesiastical governance structure and Furness Abbey's significant holdings there.
