Editing Normandy (section)

====Insular Normandy (Channel Islands)====
* The [[bailiwick]] of [[Jersey]]
* The [[bailiwick of Guernsey]] (Fr. ''Bailliage de Guernesey'')

The [[Channel Islands]] are considered culturally and historically a part of Normandy. However, they are British [[Crown Dependencies]], and are not part of the modern French [[Normandy (administrative region)|administrative region of Normandy]].

Although the British surrendered claims to mainland Normandy, France, and other French possessions in 1801, the monarch of the United Kingdom retains the title Duke of Normandy in respect to the Channel Islands.<ref>{{cite web|title= Channel Islands|publisher= The official website of The British Monarchy|url= http://www.royal.gov.uk/MonarchUK/QueenandCrowndependencies/ChannelIslands.aspx|access-date= 20 July 2015|archive-date= 21 September 2012|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20120921052748/http://www.royal.gov.uk/MonarchUK/QueenandCrowndependencies/ChannelIslands.aspx|url-status= live}}</ref> The Channel Islands (except for [[Chausey]]) remain [[Crown Dependencies]] of the [[The Crown|British Crown]] in the present era. Thus the [[Loyal Toast]] in the Channel Islands is ''Le Roi, notre Duc'' ("The King, our Duke"). The British monarch is understood to ''not'' be the Duke with regards to mainland Normandy described herein, by virtue of the [[Treaty of Paris (1259)|Treaty of Paris of 1259]], the surrender of French possessions in 1801, and the belief that the rights of succession to that title are subject to [[Salic Law]] which excludes inheritance through female heirs.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Ie8vXUqHkKIC&q=Salic+Law&pg=PA316|access-date=2 February 2019|title=The Spirit of Laws: Translated from the French of M. de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu by Thomas Nugent, LL.D |author=Baron de Montesquieu, M. de Secondat|year=1873|publisher=ROBERT CLARKE & CO.|pages=328|quote=It would be easy for me to prove that the Salic law did not absolutely exclude the daughters from the possession of the Salic land, but only in the case where they were de barred by their brothers. This appears from the letter of the Salic law; which after having said, that the women shall possess none of the Salic land, but only the males, interprets and restrains itself by adding, "that is, the son shall succeed to the inheritance of the father."}}</ref>
