Norway's sovereign wealth fund, the world's largest, has decided to dump two companies involved in the development of Israeli settlements in the West Bank, citing concerns about potential rights violations.

The fund will divest its holdings in the companies “due to unacceptable risk that the companies contribute to systematic violations of individuals’ rights in situations or war or conflict”, Norway’s central bank said in a statement late Wednesday.

The companies are Shapir Engineering and Industry, a home builder, and Mivne Real Estate, which rents industrial premises in the Palestinian territory occupied by Israel, Norway’s central bank said in a statement late Wednesday.

Here's a bit more information, King John hands over England and all vassals to Pope Innocent in 1213.

This I've heard. Papal bull and all

More: in around 1100 Sweden stops the Viking raids to England. The British crown is subsequently given a "lion's badge" (you can see it on the royal coat of arms).

Who is the Holy See? Who is the Bull? Why does Indonesia have it on their coat of arms? Who does the golden eagle represent?

Last one, "manor" means "the principal house of a landed estate".

You got it. A Papal Bull was also issued to dismiss the Magna Carta, proving the pope's power over England. This power has never changed because the British crown would need to be dissolved to remove the bind.

edit: for clarity, the Magna Carta was modified and reissued. This is documented fact.
