<!-- ==History==

[[Image:Flag of the Duchy of Lancaster.svg|thumb|left|The standard of the Duchy of Lancaster]]

The first act of King [[Henry IV of England|Henry IV]] was to declare that the Lancastrian inheritance be held separately from the other possessions of the Crown, and should descend to his male heirs. This separation of identities was confirmed in 1461 by Edward IV when he incorporated the inheritance and the palatinate responsibilities under the title of the Duchy of Lancaster, and stipulated that it be held separate from other inheritances by him and his heirs, Kings of England. The Duchy thereafter effectively passed to the reigning monarch and its separate identity preserved it in 1760 from being surrendered with the [[Crown Estate]]s in exchange for the [[Civil List]]. It is primarily a landed inheritance belonging to the reigning sovereign.

<!-- ==Role==

The duchy is not the property of [[The Crown]], but is instead the personal (inherited) property of the monarch and has been since 1399, when the [[Duke of Lancaster|Dukedom of Lancaster]], held by [[Henry IV of England|Henry of Bolingbroke]], merged with the crown on his appropriation of the throne (after the dispossession from [[Richard II of England|Richard II]]). The [[Loyal toast|Loyal Toast]], 'The Queen, the Duke of Lancaster' is still in frequent use within the Duchy.
