Thursday the vigils of the Annunciation of the blessed Mary the Virgin, 1305 (25 March 1305)

A 1305 charter in which Aufrica de Connaught, heiress of the Isle of Man, grants all her hereditary rights and title in Man to Simon de Montacute, a knight. The document includes both English and Latin versions and demonstrates the feudal transfer of Manx sovereignty in the medieval period, providing important context for understanding the island's constitutional status before the later Atholl and Revestment periods.
