DukeOfNormandy user information, self-submitted

Welcome to my user talk page. I go by DukeOfNormandy, though this is a nickname and is not to say I am the Duke of Normandy. Allow me to quote the page I've linked to above, as it stands today,

"'on the Channel Islands, the Queen is known informally as the "Duke of Normandy", notwithstanding the fact that she is a woman. The Channel Islands are the last remaining part of the former Duchy of Normandy to remain under the rule of the British monarch. Although the English monarchy relinquished claims to continental Normandy and other French claims in 1259 (Treaty of Paris), the Channel Islands (except for Chausey under French sovereignty) remain Crown dependencies of the British Crown. The British historian Ben Pimlott noted that while Queen Elizabeth II was on a visit to mainland Normandy in May 1967, French locals began to doff their hats and shout "Vive la Duchesse!", to which the Queen supposedly replied "Well, I am The Duke of Normandy!"

I come from one of the Norman families of nobility, and will be working to expand the stubs and articles of their history, as individual articles, from the French Wikipedia to the English Wikipedia.

If you have any questions, comments, complaints, et cetera please write to me here or my email if you are a moderator.
