16 January 1218
A bilingual (English/Latin) record of safe conduct granted by King Henry III to the King of the Isles (Reginald) in 1218, permitting him to travel to the King to render homage and make amends for excesses committed by his subjects in England and Ireland. The document demonstrates early Anglo-Norman relationships with the Hebridean kingdom and the Crown's assertion of feudal overlordship.
