- Oaths of the Twenty-Four Keys before and after the 1765 Revestment
- Description
- This document presents two versions of the oath administered to members of the House of Keys (Manx parliament): the pre-Revestment oath sworn to the Duke of Atholl, and the post-Revestment oath sworn after British Parliamentary sovereignty. The comparison illustrates the constitutional shift from ducal to Crown authority and the removal of feudal allegiance to the Atholl family.
