- Description
- A scholarly historical chapter analyzing the consequences of the 1765 Revestment Act for Isle of Man governance. It examines the transition from hereditary lordship to Crown control, the subsequent appointment of the 4th Duke of Atholl as governor in 1793, his disputes with the Tynwald Court and Keys over manorial rights and revenue, and the eventual purchase of his remaining rights in 1825–1829. The text provides extensive detail on constitutional conflicts, parliamentary petitions, and the role of the Keys in resisting ducal authority.
