Encyclopedia : B : BA : BAT : Battle of Ronaldsway

The Battle of Ronaldsway took place in 1275 at Ronaldsway on the Isle of Man. The battle crushed a final attempt by the Manx to reestablish the Norse Sudreyar dynasty. As the battle resulted in the death of the last Norse King of Man, Godred Magnusson, and the emigration to Norway of the remaining members of the Manx royal family it also led to the firm establishment of Scottish rule on the Isle of Man.
