The Lord of Mann (

King Charles III. Before 1504 the title was King of Mann
.

Relationship with the Crown

Since 1399, the

King George III became the first British monarch to reign over the Isle of Man as Lord of Mann in 1765.[3] For reasons of culture and tradition, the title Lord of Mann continues to be used. For these reasons, the correct formal usage, as used in the Isle of Man for the loyal toast, is The King, Lord of Mann. The term "the King, Lord of Mann" was also used when Charles III was proclaimed king on the Isle of Man.[4]

The title "lord" was used by

Queen Elizabeth II. Queen Victoria was styled as lady of Mann.[5]

The formal Latin style is Dominus Manniae.

Before 1504

Before 1504, the ruler of the Isle of Man was generally

styled king of Mann.[6]

16th century

Succession dispute (1594–1607)

In 1598, a succession dispute between the daughters of

Queen Elizabeth I, and the letters patent of 1405 which conferred the lordship of the Isle of Man on the Stanley family were declared null and void as the previous ruler, Henry, Earl of Northumberland, had not been subject to legal attainder, despite his treason, and the 1405 and 1406 letters patent had therefore not taken effect.[7][8]

The Queen, in consideration of the "many eminent services performed to herself and to her royal predecessors by the honourable and noble House of Stanley", withdrew her right and referred the contending claimants to the decision of the Privy Council as to the best claim of inheritance.

The Privy Council decided "the grant being by letters patent under the Great Seal of England, such right would descend according to the Common Law of England to the heirs general, and not to the heirs male", and the island was therefore awarded to Ferdinando's daughters; whereupon William agreed to purchase their several shares and interests.[9]

Interim (1607–1609)

Following the resolution of the succession dispute, it was ruled that the daughters of Ferdinando Stanley were the rightful heirs. As the oldest of them would not reach the

James I by letters patent,[10]
so that the daughters could benefit from the Island's revenues.
