That mission had failed in its object. The letters of Henry of England and his Majesty of Scots had not succeeded in persuading the Norse monarch to resign his claims to the dominion of the Western Isles. King Hakon claimed that those lands, from the Lewis in the north even to the Isle of Man in the south, .. Were his by right of both conquest and posses- sion, and that each and all of the island kings, or jarls, were bound in fealty and vassalage to Norway. On the other hand, King Alexander cl...aimed that he held yet stronger rights of sovereignty, and that the islands were even by nature intended to be part of Scotland.
The Western Isles, and more especially that group lying south of the holy island of lona, were at this time in a most prosperous condi- tion. Together with a large tract of country on the north-east of Ireland, they formed a sort of naval empire, with the open sea as its centre. They were densely populated. The useful arts were carried to a degree of perfection unsur- THE DOMINION OF THE WESTERN ISLES 137 passed in other European countries.
