The Age of the Sea Kings Set

This set of six stamps explores the medieval Kingdom of Man and the Isles, a maritime realm that thrived between 1079 and 1265. Featuring artwork by Manx illustrator Juan Moore and expert insight from historian Professor R. Andrew McDonald, the collection brings to life the legendary sea kings who ruled these waters.

Inspired by the medieval Chronicles of the Kings of Man and the Isles, each stamp highlights a key figure or moment from the lost kingdom’s history. From the rise of Godred Crovan to the last Manx king, Magnus, this collection traces a dynasty that shaped the Irish Sea region for nearly two centuries. The stamps capture the era’s fierce battles, political struggles, and religious influence, reflecting the kingdom’s deep connections with Norway, Scotland, England, and Ireland.

Whether you’re a collector, a history enthusiast, or simply drawn to the rich past of the Isle of Man, this set offers a unique insight into a long-lost world. Available in mint condition or cancelled to order.
