Source
29 September 1398

Parliamentary record from the Rotuli Parliamentorum (21 Ric. II) granting a pardon to the Earl of Warwick, commuting his death sentence to perpetual imprisonment on the Isle of Man. The document outlines the conditions of his exile, his guardianship by Sir William le Scrop and Sir Stephen, and the threat of execution should he escape or seek further grace. Provides historical precedent for the Isle of Man's use as a place of detention and highlights the island's status as outside the English realm.
