Charter of Robert I of Scotland to Thomas Ranulph, Earl of Moravia, granting Isle of Man, 1313

Source
20 December 1313

Royal charter by Robert I (Robert the Bruce) confirming the Island of Mann and the Calf Islands to Thomas Ranulph, Earl of Moravia, in fee and free royalty. The grant includes full administrative and judicial authority, with conditions of homage, provision of six ships annually, parliamentary attendance, and annual payment of 100 marks sterling at Pentecost. Presented in both English translation and original Latin, this document provides foundational evidence of Scottish sovereign claims to Mann prior to the later English acquisition.
