Provenance
Woodspring Priory, Somerset, September 1885 excavations
Private Collection, purchased April 1933
On 9 August 1333 Edward III renounced all English claims over the Isle of Man and recognised it as an independent kingdom under its then King, William Montacute, 1st Earl of Salisbury. William le Scrope, Earl of Wiltshire, was the last King of Mann in this line until his death in 1399. A fragment of a tile from Woodspring Priory with identical decoration is in Weston Museum, Weston-super-Mare. See the footnote to lot 99 in this sale.
