Magnus, last Norse King of Mann

Person

Magnus Olafsson (d. 1265) was the last Norse King of Mann and the Isles. His death in 1265, during the period when Norwegian control of the western isles was waning, effectively ended Norse sovereignty over the Isle of Man. The Treaty of Perth in 1266, which ceded the Hebrides and Mann to Scotland, confirmed the end of Norse rule.
