Heraldry in the Isle of Man
Howard Connell Esq.
The Isle of Man has been ruled successively by the Vikings, the
Scots, the Earls of Derby, the Dukes of Athol and finally, as a
result of an exchange of sovereignty for hard cash, the British.
This chequered history has given rise to some interesting heraldry,
and to the Tynwald ceremony at which new laws are declaimed,
with much pomp, by the Island’s senior judges, the Deemsters.
This lecture will look at the Island’s heraldry and ceremonial.
Chairman: David Krause Esq. Vice Chairman of Council
