1205 CE
Philip restores Normandy, seized by England’s Henry I in 1106, to French control, but the English retain the Channel Islands when Guernsey and Jersey decide, after a plebiscite of wealthy land owners, to remain with the English crown.
Neither of the islands’ two separate bailiwicks, Guernsey and Jersey, are today part of the United Kingdom; rather they are considered the remnants of the Duchy of Normandy.
