Isle of Man Purchase Act 1765
text:
The Isle of Man Purchase Act 1765, also known as the Act of Revestment, purchased the feudal rights of the Dukes of Atholl as Lords of Man over the Isle of Man, and revested them into the British Crown. As an Act of Parliament of 1609 had conferred the feudal rights over the island upon the Atholls, a further Act of Parliament was required to terminate those rights. The Act gave effect to an earlier contract between Charlotte, Duchess of Atholl, and the government of the Kingdom of Great Britain
