In 1263, King Hakon of Norway brought a large fleet together to attack King Alexander III of Scotland. King Magnus of Man was among the followers of Hakon. The Battle of Largs of 2nd October 1263 was indecisive, but following it Hakon became ill and died, and his fleet sailed back to Norway. King Magnus had no option but to agree to Alexander III as his overlord. Magnus died in 1265, and in 1266 Norway formally transferred its suzerainty over Man and the Isles to Scotland.
