8 February 1205
A royal charter in which King John of England takes Reginald, King of Mann, under his protection, defence, and custody, extending protection to all his lands and people. This is a foundational document for understanding the feudal relationship between the English Crown and the Kings of Mann in the medieval period, establishing the protectorate model that would evolve through subsequent centuries leading to the 1765 Revestment.
