List of Manx monarchs

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article lists the monarchs who have ruled the Isle of Man. The island has been ruled by Brythonic, Irish, Scottish, Hiberno-Norse, English, and British monarchs. Currently, the island is ruled by the Lord of Mann, Charles III, who is represented by Lieutenant Governor, Sir John Lorimer.

Mythology

[edit]

According to Manx mythology, the first ruler of the Isle of Man was Manannán mac Lir.[1]

Kings of Galwyddel (c.400 ‒ c.550)

[edit]

The Kingdom of Galwyddel was a Brythonic kingdom, part of the Hen Ogledd, in modern-day Galloway, Scotland. The Kingdom was likely a breakaway polity from the Kingdom of Alt Clut led by Tutgual of Galwyddel, son of King Cinuit of Alt Clut and is believed to have maintained authority over the Isle of Man.[2] Around 550, Galwyddel was invaded and annexed by the Kingdom of Rheged, under King Urien. The Galwyddel King, Senyllt, was forced to flee to Ynys Manau (Isle of Man).[3]

Early Norse Rule (836 ‒ 914)

[edit]

In the 800s, Mann came under the rule of a series of primarily Hiberno-Norse kings and incorporated into the Kingdom of the Isles. Various rulers have been identified as ruling Man, but not the Kingdom of the Isles as a whole. The Isle of Man may have fallen under Norse rule in the 870s, and paradoxically they may have brought the Gaelic language with them. The island has produced a more densely distributed Viking Age archaeology than anywhere else in the British Isles, but the written records for this time period are poor.[15][16]

Kingdom of the Isles (914 ‒ 1265)

[edit]

Since the emergence of Somerled and his descendants in the 12th century, the Manx kings began to lose territory and power in the Hebrides. Before the reigns of the three sons of Olaf the Black, the Manx kings styled themselves "King of the Isles". By the time of the reigns of Olaf's sons, the kings had begun to style themselves "King of Mann and the Isles".

Lords of Mann (1521 ‒ Present)

[edit]

Edward Stanley, 3rd Earl of Derby, the son of Thomas Stanley, 2nd Earl of Derby, did not take the style "King", and he and his successors were generally known instead as Lord of Mann.[70][71] However, the Latin style Rex Manniae et Insularum (King of Mann and the Isles) continued to be occasionally used in official documents until at least the 17th century.

In 1765, the title was revested in the Crown of Great Britain; thus today the title, Lord of Mann, is used by King Charles III.[72][73] Queen Victoria was styled as Lady of Mann, whereas, title "Lord" was used by Queen Elizabeth II.[74]

Succession Dispute (1594–1607)

[edit]

After Ferdinando's death, the succession is disputed between his daughters and his brother William, Earl of Derby. Ultimately the English Privy Council awarded the island to the daughters of Ferdinando.[75] However, they were all below the age of majority at the time so James I of England appointed two interim Lords of Mann to act as regents.[76]
