Welcome to the history forum. Your English is fine. Much better than my Russian. Can you tell me more. Do you mean medieval life on the Island of Mann? E-mail me off line ( or in forum) if I can be of any help. But...please if you write me in Russian write to me as if I was a six year old.


[translation... maybe, maybe not.]

Добро пожаловать в форум истории. Ваш английский язык хорош. Намного лучше чем мой русский язык. Можете Вы говорить мне больше. Вы подразумеваете средневековую жизнь на Острове Mann? Пошлите по электронной почте мне от линии (или на форуме), если я могу иметь какую-нибудь помощь. Но ... нравятся, пишете ли Вы мне на русском языке, говорят со мной, как будто я был шестилетним.

well, so: 1. I find nothing about if there were any nobility (barons, counts) on the isle till 1405. So i can suppose that all the authority was after clergy, am i right? 2. what was dense of population all around the isle (till 16 century!), or which districts were more deserted? 3. What kind of currency was used by manx till Stanley (1405)? 4. these ''vocabulary'' http://www.isle-of-man.com/manxnoteb...1924/index.htm is there only modern dialect or it was in use also in medieval times? so that's all, i think i forgot nothing. Спасибо заранее (in advance)
