Andrew McDonald, which explores the maritime kingdom that thrived between 1079 and 1265, the EUROPA stamp focuses on the significant reigns of Rognvald and Olaf. These were key figures in the medieval Kingdom of Man and the Isles whose leadership defined the history of the Isle of Man and its surrounding islands.
