Order to bring Bishop Marc of Sodor to King Edward I at Berwick, 1296

Source
29 August 1296

A royal mandate from King Edward I commanding Robert de Joneby, bailiff of Dumfries, to bring Marc, Bishop of Sodor, to the King at Berwick to render allegiance. This document demonstrates early English royal authority over the Isle of Man and its ecclesiastical leadership, predating the 1765 Revestment by nearly 470 years but establishing the constitutional and feudal relationship between the Crown and the island.
