Ep. St. T. Cant., l. 1, 44; l. 2, 32, quoted by Lord Lyttleton, Hist. Hen. II., vol. 4, p. 218–20. In 1166 William was at Mont St. Michael (Chron. Robt. de Monte ad an.), and there came with him the Bishop of Man and thirty-one other islands, all of which, adds the chronicler, the king of the Isles holds of the king of Norway by paying ten marks of gold to every new king. No other payment is made during the life of that king, or until the appointment of a successor.
