- Magnus, last Norse King of Mann
- Biography
- The last king of the Norse dynasty founded by Godred Crovan. Magnus died at Castle Rushen in 1265, ending nearly two hundred years of Norse rule. The Treaty of Perth the following year ceded the Hebrides and the Isle of Man to Scotland. The Keys contracted from thirty-two to twenty-four members, shedding their Hebridean representatives as the territory shrank, but the institution survived the loss of the dynasty that had created it.
