Good project. I've studied lots of British history, but I still don't always get the peerage. Is there any particular order to this? And what do the dates represent,exactly?
Those are the dates when the particular peerage was created in law. The Prince of Wales is currently also the Duke of Cornwall, which is the oldest extant dukedom in England, created way back in 1337 by King Edward III I believe. Of course there have been many Dukes of Cornwall since then, which is usually passed on to the oldest son when the father dies. Historically, you have to be royalty or have done a pretty extraordinary thing to be awarded such an honour by a grateful nation (such as when Arthur Wellesly defeated Napolean at Waterloo, becoming the Duke of Wellington in the process). To wit, they wanted to make Churchill the Duke of Dover following the Second World War, but he turned it down.
I believe that the title offered to Winston Churchill in 1945 was in fact Duke of London, which he declined as he wanted to remain in the House of Commons. When he retired as Prime Minister some 10 years later, it is believed that he was tempted to accept an offer of a dukedom from our present Queen.
Could you please tell me is there any Duke of Chandon 1765? Any information on this would be helpful
