| | Duke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In the United Kingdom, the inherited office of a duke along with its dignities, privileges, and rights is a dukedom. | | | The Germanic Franks converted, under Roman influence, the Germanic concept of Herzog (literally: "war-leader", commonly translated as "duke"), the temporarily elected general for a major expedition of warfare, into military governors for units of up to a dozen counties. | | | The granting of the lower style of Earl of Wessex to Prince Edward, the third son of Queen Elisabeth II, may, if not a one-off, usher in the end of the de facto exclusive use of ducal title for the main princes of the royal blood. |
