Name: Royal Licence to William Hobbesson to Purchase and Convey Barley to Mann Castle, 1402
Description: A licence granted by King Henry IV permitting William Hobbesson, servant of the Earl of Northumberland, to purchase 12 crannocks of barley and transport it to Mann Castle for victuals. The document is presented in both English translation and original Latin patent roll text from the Irish Chancery records (Rotuli Patentes et Clausae). This demonstrates early medieval provisioning of the royal castle on the Isle of Man and the administrative mechanisms by which the English Crown controlled island commerce and supply.
