11 July 1458

Papal bull issued by Pope Calistus III in 1458 establishing the Church of Sodor (Isle of Man) as suffragan to the Archbishop of York. The document records the appointment of Thomas as Bishop of Sodor following the death of Thomas Burton, and the formal ecclesiastical union. Provides crucial evidence of the Church's constitutional relationship to York and the island's ecclesiastical governance in the pre-Revestment period.
