Royal Grant of the Bishopric of the Isle of Man to Henry Man, 1546
Description
A dual-language (English/Latin) royal patent from Henry VIII granting the vacant bishopric of the Isle of Man to Henry Man, professor of sacred theology. The document conveys all spiritual and temporal rights, revenues, properties, and privileges of the see, and exempts the bishop from paying Tenths and First Fruits taxes due to the island's proximity to enemy territories and the high seas. Relevant to understanding pre-Revestment ecclesiastical governance and the Crown's direct patronage over Manx institutions.
