Royal Concessions to Henry Man, Bishop of the Isle of Man (1546)

Source
22 January 1546

A bilingual (English and Latin) royal charter from Henry VIII granting Henry Man, Bishop of the Isle of Man, permission to hold multiple ecclesiastical benefices in commendam (concurrently) — the Deanery of Chester Cathedral and two parochial churches — while retaining his bishopric. The document establishes the constitutional relationship between the Crown and the Manx bishopric, and demonstrates the Crown's authority over Manx ecclesiastical appointments in the Tudor period.
