Introduction of dukedoms into England
This section does not cite any sources.(March 2016) |
Edward III of England created the first three dukedoms of England (Cornwall, Lancaster, and Clarence). His eldest son Edward, the Black Prince, was created Duke of Cornwall, the first English Duke, in 1337. Two weeks after the Prince's death the dukedom was recreated for his 9-year-old son Richard of Bordeaux, who would eventually succeed his grandfather as Richard II. The Dukes of Cornwall are not numbered as part of their style.
The second dukedom was originally given to Henry of Grosmont, 1st Duke of Lancaster, but upon his death was re-created for the 3rd son of Edward III, John of Gaunt, 1st Duke of Lancaster. On that same day Edward III also created a dukedom for his second son, Lionel of Antwerp, 1st Duke of Clarence. When Richard II reached majority, he created dukedoms for his last two uncles on the same day: Edmund of Langley, 1st Duke of York, and Thomas of Woodstock, 1st Duke of Gloucester.
Originally, dukedoms were created for those who had royal blood, either by descent or marriage (see below, list of surnames). By the end of the Middle Ages, traditionally marked by the Battle of Bosworth Field on 22 August 1485, a total of 31 dukedoms (with 16 distinct titles) had been created; yet only those of Cornwall, Lancaster and Suffolk remained. The Duchy of Cornwall was permanently associated with the heir apparent, and the Duchy of Lancaster became Crown property.
The first Duke of Norfolk had died in the battle of Bosworth Field in 1485. Three decades later the Dukedom of Norfolk was restored to his son by Henry VIII. Thus when Elizabeth I came to power the only living duke was Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk. Elizabeth did not create any dukes, and she beheaded Thomas Howard at the age of 36 for plotting to wed Mary, Queen of Scots and overthrow her. By 1572, this class of peerage was extinct, and there were no dukes in the last 30 years of her reign. The extant dukedoms in the Peerage of England were all created (or restored, in the cases of Norfolk and Somerset) in the Stuart period, beginning with James I's re-creation of the dukedom of Buckingham in 1623 for George Villiers.
With the possible exception of the Duchy of Cornwall and the Duchy of Lancaster (which come with great territories attached), all ducal titles in England have been created and held by royal patent or charter, and not by tenure. As a result, the rules of succession to a ducal title are usually explicitly laid out in the patent, and are not necessarily consistent, nor do they coincide with common inheritance laws on property. For instance, an heir does not usually inherit the ducal title by virtue of being the heir of the last holder, but by virtue of descent from the first person to whom the title was given, so a full-blood daughter of a duke may be superseded by a half-blood male relative who can prove direct descent from the first holder.

how and when to remove this message Edward III of England created the first three dukedoms of England Cornwall Lancaster and Clarence His eldest son Edward the Black Prince was created Duke of Cornwall the first English Duke in 1337 Two weeks after the Prince s death the dukedom was recreated for his 9 year old son Richard of Bordeaux who would eventually succeed his grandfather as Richard II The Dukes of Cornwall are not numbered as part of their style The second dukedom was originally given to Henry of Grosmont 1st Duke of Lancaster but upon his death was re created for the 3rd son of Edward III John of Gaunt 1st Duke of Lancaster On that same day Edward III also created a dukedom for his second son Lionel of Antwerp 1st Duke of Clarence When Richard II reached majority he created dukedoms for his last two uncles on the same day Edmund of Langley 1st Duke of York and Thomas of Woodstock 1st Duke of Gloucester Originally dukedoms were created for those who had royal blood either by descent or marriage see below list of surnames By the end of the Middle Ages traditionally marked by the Battle of Bosworth Field on 22 August 1485 a total of 31 dukedoms with 16 distinct titles had been created yet only those of Cornwall Lancaster and Suffolk remained The Duchy of Cornwall was permanently associated with the heir apparent and the Duchy of Lancaster became Crown property The first Duke of Norfolk had died in the battle of Bosworth Field in 1485 Three decades later the Dukedom of Norfolk was restored to his son by Henry VIII Thus when Elizabeth I came to power the only living duke was Thomas Howard 4th Duke of Norfolk Elizabeth did not create any dukes and she beheaded Thomas Howard at the age of 36 for plotting to wed Mary Queen of Scots and overthrow her By 1572 this class of peerage was extinct and there were no dukes in the last 30 years of her reign The extant dukedoms in the Peerage of England were all created or restored in the cases of Norfolk and Somerset in the Stuart period beginning with James I s re creation of the dukedom of Buckingham in 1623 for George Villiers With the possible exception of the Duchy of Cornwall and the Duchy of Lancaster which come with great territories attached all ducal titles in England have been created and held by royal patent or charter and not by tenure As a result the rules of succession to a ducal title are usually explicitly laid out in the patent and are not necessarily consistent nor do they coincide with common inheritance laws on property For instance an heir does not usually inherit the ducal title by virtue of being the heir of the last holder but by virtue of descent from the first person to whom the title was given so a full blood daughter of a duke may be superseded by a half blood male relative who can prove direct descent from the first holder Dukedoms in the Peerage of England 1337 1707 This indicates a Royal Dukedom This indicates an extant Non Royal Dukedom Monarch
