Description
The Tynwald, or more formally, the High Court of Tynwald is the legislature of the Isle of Man. Tynwald claims to be over 1,000 years old, and thus the 'oldest continuous parliament' in the world. In 1979, the Manx people celebrated the millennium of their parliament, although there is no evidence that suggests such an assembly was held in 979, or that any such event resembled the modern day court.
