	History of Isle of Man (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Early in the 13th century, when Reginald of Man did homage to King John, we hear for the first time of English intervention in the affairs of Man. But it was into the hands of Scotland that the islands were ultimately to fall.

	Isle of Man (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
