The title Earl of Ormond was twice created in the Peerage of Scotland , both times for members of the Douglas family . The first creation was in 1445 for a brother of the 8th and 9th Earls of Douglas . He forfeited the earldom in 1455 , at the same time as the 9th Earl of Douglas lost his titles . The second Scottish creation was in 1651 , and became extinct in 1715 . The Earldom of Ormonde , and later Marquisate of Ormond , in the Peerage of Scotland , originates from the caput of Ormond Castle at Avoch in the Black Isle , held by the Douglas family when they first obtained the title . Between 1488 and 1504 it was a subsidiary title of the Dukes of Ross , until the latter 's extinction in 1504 . It was created a second time in 1600 as a subsidiary title for the future King Charles I , the Duke of Albany . The title merged with the crown in 1625 , and there it has remained .
The title Duke of Ross has been created twice in the Peerage of Scotland , both times for younger sons of the King of Scotland . Named for Ross in Scotland , it was first created in 1488 for James Stewart , Earl of Ross , the second son of James III . On his early death in 1504 , the title became extinct . The title was created a second time for Alexander Stewart , the youngest son of James IV . On his death at the age of one in 1515 the title became extinct .
Earl of Bothwell was a title that was created twice in the Peerage of Scotland . It was first created for Patrick Hepburn in 1488 , and was forfeited in 1567 . Subsequently , the earldom was re-created for the 4th Earl 's nephew and heir of line , Francis Stewart , whose father was an illegitimate son of James V. The second creation was forfeited in 1612 , and although the heir was subsequently rehabilitated , the title was never restored . The title Duke of Orkney was created in the Peerage of Scotland in 1567 for James Hepburn , 4th Earl of Bothwell , with the subsidiary title Marquess of Fife . All titles were declared forfeit in 1567 .

Duke of Hamilton is a title in the Peerage of Scotland , created in 1643 . It is the senior dukedom in that Peerage ( except for the Dukedom of Rothesay held by the Sovereign 's eldest son ) , and as such its holder is the Premier Peer of Scotland , as well as being head of both the House of Hamilton and the House of Douglas . The title , the town of Hamilton in Lanarkshire , and many places around the world are named after members of the Hamilton family . The Ducal family 's surname , originally Hamilton , is now Douglas-Hamilton . Since 1711 , the Dukedom has been held together with the Dukedom of Brandon in the Peerage of Great Britain , and the Dukes since that time have been styled Duke of Hamilton and Brandon , along with several other subsidiary titles .
Marquess of Huntly ( traditionally spelt Marquis in Scotland ) ( Scottish Gaelic : Coileach Strath Bhalgaidh ) is a title in the Peerage of Scotland created on 17 April 1599 for George Gordon , 6th Earl of Huntly . It is the oldest existing marquessate in Scotland , and the second-oldest in the British Isles , only the English marquessate of Winchester being older . The Marquess holds the following subsidiary titles : Lord Gordon of Strathaven and Glenlivet and Earl of Aboyne ( 1660 ; Peerage of Scotland ) , and Baron Meldrum , of Morven in the County of Aberdeen ( 1815 ; Peerage of the United Kingdom )
The title Duke of Gordon has been created once in the Peerage of Scotland and again in the Peerage of the United Kingdom . The Dukedom , named after the Clan Gordon , was first created for the 4th Marquess of Huntly , who on 3 November 1684 was created Duke of Gordon , Marquess of Huntly , Earl of Huntly and Enzie ( all three of which he already held by an older creation ) , Viscount of Inverness , and Lord Strathaven , Balmore , Auchindoun , Garthie and Kincardine . On 2 July 1784 , the 4th Duke was created Earl of Norwich , in the County of Norfolk , and Baron Gordon , of Huntley in the County of Gloucester , in the Peerage of Great Britain . The principal family seat was Gordon Castle . The Dukedom became extinct in 1836 , along with all the titles created in 1684 and 1784 . Most of the Gordon estates passed to the son of the 5th Duke 's eldest sister , the 5th Duke of Richmond , whose main seat was Goodwood House in Sussex . In 1876 his son , the 6th Duke of Richmond and Lennox , was created Duke of Gordon , of Gordon Castle in Scotland , and Earl of Kinrara , in the County of Inverness . Thus , the Duke holds four dukedoms ( including the titular Aubigny-sur-Nère ; see Duke of Aubigny ) , more than any other person in the realm . Aubigny is in the defunct Peerage of France and the central arms of the Duke are based on the original Jacobean ones for the Union of the Crowns , with the inherited but inactive English claims to the French throne also represented prominently .
Duke of Albany was a peerage title that has occasionally been bestowed on the younger sons in the Scottish and later the British royal family , particularly in the Houses of Stuart and Windsor .
Duke of York is a title of nobility in the Peerage of the United Kingdom . Since the 15th century , it has , when granted , usually been given to the second son of English ( later British ) monarchs . The equivalent title in the Scottish peerage was Duke of Albany . However , King George I and Queen Victoria granted the second sons of their eldest sons the titles Duke of York and Albany and Duke of York respectively . Initially granted in the 14th century in the Peerage of England , the title Duke of York has been created eight times . The title Duke of York and Albany has been created three times . These occurred during the 18th century , following the 1707 unification of the Kingdom of England and Kingdom of Scotland into a single , united realm . The double naming was done so that a territorial designation from each of the previously separate realms could be included . The current Duke of York is Prince Andrew , the second son of Queen Elizabeth II . The present Duke 's marriage produced two daughters only , and he has remained unmarried since his 1996 divorce . It therefore seems likely that the eighth creation of the title will be only the second ( after Richard of Shrewsbury ) not to become merged into the Crown upon the holder 's accession to the role of monarch .
The Peerage of England comprises all peerages created in the Kingdom of England before the Act of Union in 1707 . In that year , the Peerages of England and Scotland were replaced by one Peerage of Great Britain . English Peeresses obtained their first seats in the House of Lords under the Peerage Act 1963 from which date until the passage of the House of Lords Act 1999 all Peers of England could sit in the House of Lords . The ranks of the English peerage are , in descending order , Duke , Marquess , Earl , Viscount , and Baron . While most newer English peerages descend only in the male line , many of the older ones ( particularly older baronies ) can descend through females . Such peerages follow the old English inheritance law of moieties so all daughters ( or granddaughters through the same root ) stand as co-heirs , so some such titles are in such a state of abeyance between these . Baronets , while holders of hereditary titles , as such are not peers and not entitled to stand for internal delegation , that is election , in the House of Lords . Knights , Dames and holders of other non-hereditary orders , decorations and medals are also not peers . In the following table , each peer is listed only by his or her highest English title ( with the exception of the Duke of Norfolk/Earl of Arundel ) showing higher or equal titles in the other peerages . Those peers who are known by a higher title in one of the other peerages are listed in italics .
Prince of Wales ( Welsh : Tywysog Cymru , Welsh pronunciation : [ təˈwəsog ˈkəmrɨ ] ) was a title granted to native Welsh princes before the 12th century ; the term replaced the use of the word king . One of the last Welsh princes , Llywelyn ap Gruffudd , was killed in battle in 1282 by Edward I , King of England , whose son Edward ( born in Caernarfon Castle in 1284 ) was invested as the first English Prince of Wales in 1301 . Since the 14th century , the title has been a dynastic title granted to the heir apparent to the English or British monarch , but the failure to be granted the title does not affect the rights to royal succession . The title is granted to the heir apparent as a personal honour or dignity , and is not heritable , merging with the Crown on accession to the throne . The title Earl of Chester is always given in conjunction with that of Prince of Wales . The Prince of Wales usually has other titles and honours . The current and longest-serving Prince of Wales is Prince Charles , the eldest son of Elizabeth II , who is Queen of the United Kingdom and 15 other independent Commonwealth realms as well as Head of the 53-member Commonwealth of Nations . The wife of the Prince of Wales is entitled to the title Princess of Wales . Prince Charles 's first wife , Diana , used that title , but his second wife , Camilla , uses only the title Duchess of Cornwall ( or of Rothesay when in Scotland ) because the other title has become so popularly associated with Diana .
Duke of Cornwall is a title in the Peerage of England , traditionally held by the eldest son of the reigning British monarch , previously the English monarch . The Duchy of Cornwall was the first duchy created in England and was established by a royal charter in 1337 . The present duke is the Prince of Wales , the eldest son of Queen Elizabeth II . His wife , Camilla , is the current Duchess of Cornwall .
Duke of Rothesay ( Scottish Gaelic : Diùc Baile Bhòid , Scots : Duik o Rothesay ) is a dynastic title of the heir apparent to the British throne , currently Prince Charles . It was a title of the heir apparent to the throne of the Kingdom of Scotland before 1707 , of the Kingdom of Great Britain from 1707 to 1801 , and now of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland . It is the title mandated for use by the heir apparent when in Scotland , in preference to the titles Duke of Cornwall ( which also belongs to the eldest living son of the monarch , when and only when he is also heir apparent , by right ) and Prince of Wales ( traditionally granted to the heir apparent ) , which are used in the rest of the United Kingdom and overseas . The Duke of Rothesay also holds other Scottish titles , including those of Earl of Carrick , Baron of Renfrew , Lord of the Isles and Prince and Great Steward of Scotland . The title is named after Rothesay on the Isle of Bute , Argyll and Bute , but is not associated with any legal entity or landed property , unlike the Duchy of Cornwall .
Robert Bruce Stuart , Duke of Kintyre and Lorne ( 18 January 1602 - 27 May 1602 ) was the fifth child of James VI of Scots and Anne of Denmark . He was born at Dunfermline Palace , Fife . On 2 May 1602 he was created Duke of Kintyre and Lorne , Marquess of Wigton , Earl of Carrick and Lord of Annandale . He died at Dunfermline Palace on 27 May 1602 and was buried at Holyrood Abbey . His older siblings included Henry Frederick , Prince of Wales , Princess Elizabeth , and Prince Charles . Robert 's birth was attended by the physicians Martin Schöner and John Naysmyth and the midwife Janet Kinloch . James VI gave Anne of Denmark a gift of a pointed diamond . Robert 's nurse Isobel Colt was dressed in black velvet . On 2 May 1602 Robert was carried from Dunfermline Palace into the Abbey by the Duke of Lennox on a large purple cushion for his baptism . His name and titles were proclaimed by trumpeters at the windows of the abbey , and the celebrations involved a tournament of running at ring which damaged a cornfield . The sum of £66-13s-4d Scots was thrown into the crowd as largesse . On the previous day an English Catholic , Humphry Dethick , either the son of a London baker or from Ashbourne , Derbyshire , killed one of the guests , claiming to be acting to fulfil a prophecy told to him in Spain , or driven by the devil .

The title Duke of Buccleuch /bəˈkluː/ , formerly also spelt Duke of Buccleugh , is a title in the Peerage of Scotland created twice on 20 April 1663 , first for James Scott , 1st Duke of Monmouth and second suo jure for his wife Anne Scott , 4th Countess of Buccleuch . Monmouth , the eldest illegitimate son of Charles II was attainted after his 1685 rebellion , but his wife 's title was unaffected and passed on to their descendants , who have successively borne the surnames Scott , Montagu-Scott , Montagu Douglas Scott and Scott again . In 1810 , the 3rd Duke of Buccleuch inherited the Dukedom of Queensberry , also in the Peerage of Scotland , thus separating that title from the Marquessate of Queensberry . The substantial origin of the ducal house of the Scotts of Buccleuch dates back to the large grants of lands in Scotland to Sir Walter Scott of Kirkurd and Buccleuch , a border chief , by James II , in consequence of the fall of William Douglas , 8th Earl of Douglas ( 1452 ) , but the family traced their descent back to a Sir Richard le Scott ( 1240-1285 ) . Sir Walter Scott of Branxholme and Buccleuch ( died 1552 ) distinguished himself at the Battle of Pinkie Cleugh ( 1547 ) . His great-grandson Sir Walter was created Lord Scott of Buccleuch in 1606 . Other subsidiary titles associated with the Dukedom of Buccleuch are : Earl of Buccleuch ( 1619 ) , Earl of Dalkeith ( 1663 ) and Lord Scott of Whitchester and Eskdaill ( 1619 ) ( all in the Peerage of Scotland ) . The Duke also holds the two subsidiary titles of the attainted Dukedom of Monmouth , namely Earl of Doncaster ( 1663 ) and Baron Scott of Tindale ( 1663 ) ( both in the Peerage of England ) , and several subsidiary titles associated with the Dukedom of Queensberry , namely Marquess of Dumfriesshire ( 1683 ) , Earl of Drumlanrig and Sanquhar ( 1682 ) , Viscount of Nith , Tortholwald and Ross ( 1682 ) and Lord Douglas of Kilmount , Middlebie and Dornock ( 1682 ) ( all in the Peerage of Scotland ) . The Earldom of Doncaster and Barony of Scott of Tindale had been forfeit at the time of the first Duke 's attainder , but the titles were restored to the 2nd Duke of Buccleuch in 1742 . Until 1835 , the Dukes also held lands in the West Riding of Yorkshire and the ancient title of Lord of Bowland . The Duke of Buccleuch is the hereditary chief of Clan Scott . The holder is one of only five people in the UK to hold two or more different dukedoms , the others being the Duke of Cornwall and Rothesay , the Duke of Hamilton and Brandon , the Duke of Argyll ( who holds two dukedoms named Argyll ) , and the Duke of Richmond , Lennox and Gordon .

The Peerage of Great Britain comprises all extant peerages created in the Kingdom of Great Britain after the Acts of Union 1707 but before the Acts of Union 1800 . It replaced the Peerage of England and the Peerage of Scotland , but was itself replaced by the Peerage of the United Kingdom in 1801 . The ranks of the Peerage of Great Britain are Duke , Marquess , Earl , Viscount and Baron . Until the passage of the House of Lords Act 1999 , all Peers of Great Britain could sit in the House of Lords . In the following table of peers of Great Britain , holders of higher or equal titles in the other peerages are listed .

The Peerage of the United Kingdom comprises most peerages created in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland after the Acts of Union in 1801 , when it replaced the Peerage of Great Britain . New peers continued to be created in the Peerage of Ireland until 1898 ( the last creation was the Barony of Curzon of Kedleston ) . The House of Lords Act 1999 reformed the House of Lords . Until then , all peers of the United Kingdom were automatically members of the House of Lords . However , from that date , most of the hereditary peers ceased to be members , whereas the life peers retained their seats . All hereditary peers of the first creation ( i.e . those for whom a peerage was originally created , as opposed to those who inherited a peerage ) , and all surviving hereditary peers who had served as Leader of the House of Lords , were offered a life peerage to allow them to sit in the House should they wish .

Earl of Annandale and Hartfell is a title in the Peerage of Scotland , created in 1661 for James Johnstone . In 1625 , the title of Earl of Annandale had been created for John Murray , but it became extinct when his son James died without heirs . James Johnstone , son of Sir James Johnstone , Warden of the West Marches , was created Lord Johnstone of Lochwood in 1633 , and in 1643 , was further created Earl of Hartfell . Johnstone 's son , also James , resigned the earldom and received a regrant of the title , as Earl of Annandale and Hartfell , in 1661 , and a further regrant of the same title , but by crown charter , in 1662 to his heirs male of the body , whom failing , his heirs female of the body . William , the second Earl of Annandale and Hartfell , was created Marquess of Annandale in 1701 . At the death of the third marquess , no one could prove a claim to the peerages of either earldoms and therefore they became dormant . The earldoms remained dormant until Patrick Hope-Johnstone 's claim was approved by the House of Lords in 1985 . The Committee for Privileges ruled that the Charles II 1662 charter of regrant of lands constituted the creation of a new title . The title therefore descended through the female line in the person of Lady Henrietta Johnstone ( who married Charles the First Earl of Hopetoun ) to Patrick Hope-Johnstone . The current earl holds the subsidiary title of Lord Johnstone ( 1662 ) , in the peerage of Scotland . The family seat is Raehills , near Lockerbie , Dumfriesshire .
