Talk:Duke of Normandy
|
|
This was originally the talk page of List of Dukes of Normandy, but since that page is a redirect now, it has been moved to the talk page of Duke of Normandy
Isn't the title merged with the British crown? [1] (http://www.royal.gov.uk/output/Page2018.asp) This information could be incorporated into the article: [2] (http://www.royal.gov.uk/output/page543.asp). I believe all this would be better placed at Duke of Normandy --Jiang 01:11 27 Jun 2003 (UTC)
- (1) No, any claims to be "Duke of Normandy" were given up by the Treaty of Paris in
12951259. (2) If a title merges with the Crown, it ceases to exist until it is regranted. And, no, before you ask, Queen Elizabeth is not the Duke of Normandy, no matter how she is toasted in the Channel Islands. -- Someone else
- Because they're wrong<G>. It's not the only mistake on the official royal website, either! -- Someone else 02:43 27 Jun 2003 (UTC)
The Treaty was in 1259, not 1295, but otherwise, Someone else is correct, I believe. Perhaps that should be listed in the article, and John and Henry III listed as titular dukes up to 1259? john 04:02 27 Jun 2003 (UTC)
- I think that's probably a good idea. Anything to prevent bad corrections<G>. (I'm (non-tacitly) changing the date above, acknowledging the error yet "subtly" preventing its repetition...) -- Someone else 04:23 27 Jun 2003 (UTC)
I'm moving this to Duke of Normandy. --Jiang
- ... where, indeed, I have now moved it back to, and made List of Dukes of Normandy and Dukes of Normandy redirects. Given that this is the only talk page of the three, I will move this, too.

Duke of Normandy and Duchy of Normandy
I've tried to sort out the material on the two pages to keep the list of Dukes (and info about the claims to the title) separate from Duchy of Normandy, which I think is a better place for the history and culture of the Duchy. Hope this is useful. Man vyi 13:03, Nov 20, 2004 (UTC)
