Magnus, the last Viking King of Mann, died in 1265. The island then
passed from Scottish to English rule and back again as they fought for
control. Throughout this time both Castle Rushen and Peel Castle were
fortified against attacks, as were many of the island forts. In
addition to the military fortification the Isle of Man also saw new and
improved ecclesiastical buildings around the island. These included
improvments to the monastery Rushen Abbey (est 1134 under Norse Rule).
By the 12th century, the parish church was established. Though it
would not be till 1405 AD that the Isle of Man would come into quieter
times under the English rule of the Stanleys and later the Dukes of Atholl.
