Name
Surrender of Furness Abbey to Henry VIII, 1537 — Isle of Man properties included
Description
A formal deed of surrender by which Roger, Abbot of Furness Abbey in Lancashire, and the convent surrendered all monastery holdings to King Henry VIII, including lands, castles, manors, and rights specifically in the Isle of Man, Yorkshire, Lancashire, and Ireland. The document is bilingual (English and Latin) and demonstrates Crown sovereignty over the Isle of Man in the Tudor period, relevant as background to the constitutional position challenged in the 1765 Revestment.
