Excerpt from Story of the Isle of Man: An Historical Reader for the Manx Schools I have to thank the Rev. S. A. P. Kermode, M.A., and a Committee of Public Elementary School Teachers for many valuable suggestions. I have also to thank the Rev. F. F. Cornish, M.A. (Head Inspector of the N.W. district of England and Wales, of which the Isle of Man forms a part), who has read the MS. of this book, for the following kind remarks about it: - "I was very glad when I heard that you were going to write a short history of the Isle of Man for schools, and having read it, I think it is quite adapted for the use of our older scholars; for it gives a plain, pleasantly written and well rounded off account of the fortunes of your Island, beginning in the half-mythical past and ending in the realities and duties of the present. If this little book docs its work as a first step in local history, we may look forward to its leaving the readers with the desire to learn more upon the same subject. Thus they would naturally be led to Peveril of the Peak and see how Scott's glowing imagination has lighted up the connexion between the history of England and of Man in those stirring times.

Not illustrated. 1901 edition. Excerpt: ...of Ewan Christian of Milntown, one of the deemsters. He held the office of receiver, and the earl had such a high opinion of his trustworthiness, that he left him in command of the militia when he went to England. Soon after this a rumour reached the island that the Parliament had sent a force to capture it, and that the Countess of Derby, who was then ruling in the name of her husband, had arranged terms with the leader of this force. Christian consequently called a meeting of the people at his house of Ronaldsway, where eight hundred of them took an oath to oppose the countess till she had redressed their grievances, and it is probable that, at the same time, their leaders came to an agreement to anticipate the countess by themselves surrendering the island. The militia then proceeded to capture all the forts (except Rushen and Peel, which they failed to take), so that their leaders were able, on the arrival of the Parliamentary troops under Colonel Duckenfield, to surrender the island to him; and they did so, on condition that the Manx should enjoy their laws and liberties as formerly. A few days later the countess gave up Castle Rushen. The island was then, for a brief period, under the rule of the Parliament, which sent for William Christian and his brother, Deemster John Christian, described as " two of the ablest and honestest gentlemen in the island," to give the Council of State an account of the Manx laws. Thomas, Lord Fairfax, to whom the island had been presented by the Parliament, then took possession of it as its lord. Christian acted as governor under him for a year or two, and he continued to be receiver till Chaloner, who succeeded him as governor, deprived him of that office for reasons which have never been...

Not illustrated. 1902 edition. Excerpt: ... of an eagle with a child in its nest, which you have, perhaps, seen on Manx coins. Sir John Stanley II.--Sir John Stanley's son, who bore the same name, took a great interest in our island. He saw at once that he would never be its real ruler till he had curbed the power of the barons.* To this end he forbade them to give shelter--sanctuary as it was called--to such of his tenants as had committed crimes and had fled to them for protection from justice, and he caused a law to be passed that, if any of them did so, they should lose their property; and, at the same time, he summoned them to do fealty to liim at "r'ynwald. Some of them obeyed the summons, but others did not, and were punished by being deprived of their lands. There were at this time two revolts against his governors; these he put down, but, lest the same danger should arise again, he increased the authority of the governor by ordering that any offence against him should be punished in just the same way as if it were against the king. It was in his time, too, that trial by jury was substituted for trial by battle-- that is to say, instead of people settling their disputes by fighting each other, their neighbours were called in to decide between them peaceably. This great reform was passed at "A Court of all the Commons of Man," held at the old Tynwald Hill, at Baldwin, in Braddan. Another reform was carried out by his order that the laws, which had hitherto depended on the memory of the deemsters, should be written down. Sir John Stanley was a wise, though despotic, ruler, and he conferred many benefits on the island. But few of the Stanleys who succeeded him, up to the time of the Great Stanley, ever came * See p. 32. here, and if they did so, it was only for a very brief...

Situated in the middle of the Irish Sea, the Isle of Man is like a stepping-stone between the lands that surround it. In medieval times, it played an important role in the histories of Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales. This book explores the first part of that turbulent era, tracing the story of the Isle of Man from the fifth to the thirteenth centuries. It looks at the ways in which various peoples – Britons, Scots, Irish, English and Scandinavians – influenced events in Man over a period of more than 800 years. A large portion of the book is concerned with the Vikings, a group whose legacy – in place names, old burial mounds and finely carved stones – is such a vivid element in the Manx landscape today.
