Queen Victoria (1819-1901), Queen of the United Kingdom and Lord of Mann from 1837 to 1901.

She succeeded her uncle William IV on 20 June 1837, and the Manx chronicle records her as Queen of Great Britain, Ireland, Man and so forth, the Island named separately from the two kingdoms. On 21 June she issued a proclamation for persons in office to proceed with the execution of their offices, in the same form as the proclamations of previous reigns.

Her name is attached to the legislation of the Island's most reforming century. An Act of 1844, cited in the Manx manner as 8th Victoria, amended the law on the executors of spiritual men, so that the representatives of a deceased incumbent became entitled to an executor's crop out of the glebe lands, or, where the glebe was let, to the rent up to the day of the death. An Act of Tynwald of the twenty-fourth year of her reign provided for disafforesting and allotting the uninclosed portion of the Forest, and the commissioners appointed under it printed their declaration of the boundaries in 1861.

The royal visit of 1847 is often described loosely. The royal yacht lay in Ramsey Bay, but the Queen herself did not land. It was the Prince Consort who came ashore and climbed the hill overlooking the town and bay, on 20 September, and the Albert Tower was afterwards built on that spot to mark the visit.

Her reign saw the growth of tourism, the reform of the House of Keys and the development of the Island's infrastructure.
