Introduction of dukedoms into England
Edward III of England created the first three dukedoms of England Peerages and
(Cornwall, Lancaster, and Clarence). His eldest son Edward, the Black baronetcies of Britain
Prince, was created Duke of Cornwall, the first English Duke, in 1337. and Ireland
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 Extant All
grandfather as Richard II. The Dukes of Cornwall are not numbered as Dukes Dukedoms
part of their style.
Marquesses Marquessates
The second dukedom was originally given to Henry of Grosmont, 1st Earls Earldoms
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 Viscounts Viscountcies
Edward III also created a dukedom for his second son, Lionel of Antwerp, Barons Baronies
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 Baronets Baronetcies
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.
