Isle of Man/Talk

I think Iceland also claims to have the oldest parliament. Anyone know which is older?

The Iceland parliament dates to 980 CE. I don't know the date for Isle of Man but probably newer?

The Tynwald bills itself as the oldest continuous parliament and had it millenium celebration in 1979. Apparently this means the Icelandic parliament is "discontinuous"? The Althing was founded in 930 but one website talks about the restoration of parliament in 1845. --rmhermen
