Petition of John Waldeboef for the land of Man and adjacent islands (1305)
Source
1305
A 14th-century petition to the English Crown by John Waldeboef claiming inheritance rights to the Isle of Man through his wife Mary, daughter of King Reginald of Man. The document traces the line of descent and includes the Crown's response directing the matter to the King's Bench. It demonstrates the complex feudal status of Man between English and Scottish overlordship and is a valuable primary source for medieval Manx sovereignty and succession law.
