Our main article for 2021 is a full blown section (not just a page) on the Manx Rebellion 1651, when the local militia rose up against the Royalist Command under Lady Derby (Seige of Lathom House) whilst a Parliamentarian Force was off the coast of the Isle of Man, intent on invasion to crush one of the last Royalist bastions. We will cover not only an in-depth history but a range of historical, non-historical what-ifs & campaign scenarios free for download.
Our secondary article, but one that needs to come first is a revised map of the Isle of Man in Ancient/Dark/Medieval periods and the later English Civil War period. This is being created on Google Maps....
A third, but potentially really exciting article will be on our research on a previously undiscovered Motte & Bailey Fort (possibly two) and a Roman Coastal Fort. More news on these to come..... dependant mostly on Covid-19 restrictions. Both should give us a better understanding of the military history of the Isle of Man, with its exciting position (both geographically & politically) in the histoy of the British Isles.
