Answer 1

In the history of Britain, there were some marquises, dukes and other nobles who died early. Although their family status was prominent, due to the changes of times, wars, political struggles and other factors, their fiefs and power gradually declined, but they still maintained a high status. Here are some examples:

1 Duke of Ansbach: This family originated in the 12th century and was a famous royal family of Germany. They once ruled Germany together with the Austrian royal family in the 14th century. However, in the 16th century, the family died early due to political struggles, but the family members still retained their fiefs until 1977.

2 Duke of Northumberland: This family originated in the 12th century and was a famous royal family in England that once ruled Northumberland. However, in the 16th century, the family died early due to political struggles, but the family members still retained their fiefs until 1974.

3 Duke of York: This family originated in the 13th century and was a famous British royal family that once ruled the York area. However, in the 16th century, the family died early due to political struggles, but the family members still retained their fiefs until 1974.

4. Duke of Sarion: This family originated in the 13th century and was a famous royal family in Germany that once ruled the region of Saxony-Godania. However, in the 16th century, the family died early due to political struggles, but the family members still retained their fiefs until 1978.

Although these families died young, they were still retained as important aristocratic families in the United Kingdom or other countries due to their contributions to politics, culture, and the arts.
