Name
Royal writ concerning vessels to be sent to Isle of Man and Scotland, 1311
Description
A Norman French royal writ (4 Edward II) commanding the officials of Sutton and Plymouth to prepare a naval fleet for service in the Scottish wars. The writ initially orders vessels to Dublin, then redirects them to the Isle of Man, where they are to await Admiral Simon de Mountaigne. Demonstrates the strategic importance of the Isle of Man as a mustering point for military expeditions and the Crown's direct control over island resources in the early 14th century.
