Royal Grant of the Bishopric of the Isle of Man to Henry Man, 1546

Source
22 January 1546

A dual-language (English and Latin) royal charter from Henry VIII granting the vacant Bishopric of the Isle of Man to Henry Man, a professor of sacred theology. The document establishes the king's patronage over the bishopric, enumerates its spiritual and temporal properties, and notably exempts the bishop from payment of Tenths and First Fruits during his lifetime due to the island's proximity to enemy territories and maritime vulnerability.
