Oaths of the Twenty-Four Keys before and after the 1765 Revestment
Source
1792
Comparative text of the oath sworn by members of the House of Keys (Tynwald's lower house) before and after the 1765 Revestment. The pre-Revestment oath pledged allegiance to the Duke of Atholl as Lord of Man; the post-Revestment version transfers allegiance to the Crown. This document is part of a 1792 Commissioners' Inquiry report and directly illustrates the constitutional shift effected by the Revestment.
