Duke of Cornwall

The Dukedom of Cornwall was the first dukedom created in the peerage of England. The dukedom is the last in the United Kingdom still associated with an actual duchy, the Duchy of Cornwall. There is one other duchy in the United Kingdom, the Duchy of Lancaster, but there has been no Duke of Lancaster since that dukedom merged in the crown in 1413.
