The Non-Royal Peerage in 1789

All surviving Old Regime peers or their legitimate heirs were made members of the newly formed House of Peers peers by Louis XVIII on June 4 1814 (see the page on 19th c. peerage), with the exception of Aubigny, held by the duke of Richmond, a British subject. When titles were assigned to the members of the House of Peers on Aug 31 1817, all of the Old Regime dukes-peers were given the rank of duke. There are two exceptions: the duc de Praslin was removed in July 1815 for his behavior during Napoleon's return from Elba, but he was reinstated (with ducal rank) on Nov 21, 1819; and the duc de Fleury had died without heirs on Jan 15, 1815. This list is by order of precedence under the rules of the Old Regime. The exact same order of precedence was used in 1814. As before, a star (*) indicates that the title still exists.

Todos los pares sobrevivientes del Antiguo Régimen o sus legítimos herederos se hicieron miembros de los recién formados pares de la Casa de Pares por Louis XVIII el 4 de junio de 1814 (ver la página sobre la nobleza del siglo XIX), con la excepción de Aubigny, en poder del duque de Richmond. , un sujeto británico. Cuando se asignaron títulos a los miembros de la Cámara de los Pares el 31 de agosto de 1817, todos los duques-pares del Antiguo Régimen recibieron el rango de duque. Hay dos excepciones: el duque de Praslin fue removido en julio de 1815 por su comportamiento durante el regreso de Napoleón de Elba, pero fue readmitido (con rango ducal) el 21 de noviembre de 1819; y el duque de Fleury había muerto sin herederos el 15 de enero de 1815. Esta lista es por orden de precedencia bajo las reglas del Antiguo Régimen. Se usó exactamente el mismo orden de precedencia en 1814. Como antes, una estrella (*) indica que el título aún existe.

Other (non-Peer) Duchies

The King also created duchies without making them into peerages at the same time. They were hereditary, created by letters patent which also had to be registered in order to be valid. Their legal regime was similar to that of peerages; in particular, the provisions of the edict of 1711 also applied to them. The king could also issue a brevet which did not require parliamentary approval, and was only an authorization granted by the king to an individual to use the title of duke for his lifetime. Some brevets also included a promise to create a peerage or proper duchy at some future date, although the promise might not be kept. Peerages which were not registered were usually considered as duchies which became extinct at the death of the beneficiary; hence they were treated like brevet titles. The following list in principle covers duchies created by letters patent as well as unsuccessful peerages (some titles might be ). It is reasonably complete up to the 1740s, based on Père Anselme.

El Rey también creó ducados sin convertirlos en pares al mismo tiempo. Eran hereditarias, creadas por cartas de patente que también tenían que registrarse para ser válidas. Su régimen legal era similar al de los pares; en particular, las disposiciones del edicto de 1711 también se aplicaron a ellos. El rey también podía emitir un brevet que no requería aprobación parlamentaria, y era solo una autorización otorgada por el rey a un individuo para usar el título de duque durante toda su vida. Algunos brevets también incluyeron una promesa de crear una nobleza o ducado apropiado en una fecha futura, aunque la promesa podría no cumplirse. Las parejas que no estaban registradas generalmente se consideraban ducados que se extinguieron a la muerte del beneficiario; por lo tanto, fueron tratados como títulos brevet.
