If anyone wants to contest the status of the British queens as Lady of Mann, check Wikipedia:Reference desk/Archives/Humanities/2010 February 15#British Queen consorts.--Queen Elizabeth II's Little Spy (talk) 17:50, 17 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not that I was questioning this important honorific, but isn't it more usual to put references into an article rather than hint at one on a talk page? Ben MacDui 18:14, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Queen of Mann and the Isles

[edit]

I think that early consorts need to be under a different heading. I don't think that "Queen of Mann and the Isles" is quite right (for the majority of the women under that heading). I don't think that there is any actual evidence that any of these women went by such a title. Only the last three kings of the Crovan dynasty actually styled themselves "King of Mann and the Isles" (the sons of Olaf the Black; Olaf, his brother Ragnvald, their father Godred Olafsson, and his father Olaf Godredsson all styled themselves "King of the Isles"). According to R.A. McDonald, the unnamed wife of Ragnvald is the only woman who appears in surviving contemporary sources with a title (regina insularum / "Queen of the Isles"). --Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 07:44, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Ben MacDui 07:59, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Whoops, I didn't see your reply before I made a few changes. I renamed the first section to 'Queen of the Isles' for now, and left put the ones who were actually married to 'kings of the isles'.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 08:03, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
