King John receives Reginald under his Protection, 1205

KING JOHN RECEIVES REGINALD, KING OF MANN, UNDER HIS PROTECTION.—A.D. 1205.

THE King, etc., to all, etc., know that we have taken our beloved kinsman, Reginald, King of Mann, under our keeping, protection, and defence, and all his lands and people.

And we forbid any person to inflict injury or annoyance upon him or his, wherefore if any offence he committed against him, we will reckon the same done to ourself.

Witness ourself, at Woodstock, the 8th day of February, in the 6th year, etc.

REX IN PROTECTIONEM SUAM STISCIPIT REGINALDUM REGEM MANNIÆ.

FOEDERA.

6 JOHANN.

REX etc. omnibus, etc. Sciatis quod suscepirnus dilectum consangulneum nostrum Reginaldum Regem Manniæ in custodiam, protectionem et defensionem nostram, et omnes terras et homines suos.

Et prohibemus ne quis ci vel suis inferat injuriam, vel gravarnen, quia Si quid ci forisfactum fuerit, id nobis factum reputabirnus.

Teste meipso, apud Wodestock, viii die Februarii, anno, etc., vio.
