The Archdeacon of the Isles (or Sodor) was the only
archdeacon in the
diocese of the Isles, acting as a subordinate of the
Bishop of the Isles. The number and names of the
prebends, if any, associated with the archdeaconry in the later Middle Ages are not known.[1] Before the break-away of the
diocese of Man during the
Western Schism, the archdeacons held
Kirk Andreas as a prebend.[2] The office seems to have fallen into disuse after the time of Alasdair Caimbeul, who received crown presentation to the position in 1592.[3] It was to be revived in 1662.[3]
