The heirs of the dukes of different duchies had different titles. In some of the dukes 'families in England, they had their own specific titles. For example, the legal heir of the Duke of Manchester used the ceremonial title of Viscount Mandeville; the ceremonial title of the eldest son or heir of the Duke of Beaufort was the Marquis of Worchester; the ceremonial title of the 9th Duke of Leinster before 1976 was the Earl of Offaley, and the ceremonial title from 1976 to 2004 was the Marquis of Kildare.

The heirs of the dukes of different duchies had different ways of addressing each other. For example, in the United Kingdom, the Duke of York was awarded to the second son of the King of England without mentioning the specific title of the heir; the legal heir of the Duke of Manchester used the ceremonial title of Viscount Mandeville; the eldest son or heir of the Duke of Beaufort used the ceremonial title of Marquis of Worchester; the ceremonial title of the 9th Duke of Leinster before 1976 was Earl of Offaley, and the ceremonial title from 1976 to 2004 was Marquis of Kildare.

The rules for the heir to the dukedom were different in different duchies. Take the United Kingdom as an example: - The title of Duke of Cornish would always belong to the eldest son of the British monarch. If the eldest son passed away and had no children, the second son of the British monarch would obtain the title. The son of the eldest son could not directly inherit the title of Duke. Only the son of the British monarch could become the Duke of Cornish. - The Dukedom of Fife, established in 1900, stipulated that if the holder of the dukedom did not have a son, his daughter was allowed to inherit it, and then the male heir of the daughter would inherit it (the condition was that the daughter's mother must be Princess Louise, and the daughter of the duke's remarriage could not inherit the dukedom). In addition, Duke Melk of Brittany, France, inherited the duchy by his son in 1577, but no more general inheritance rules were found. There were also fictional plots related to the succession of dukes in different works, but most of them were set by the author and did not have the meaning of universal inheritance rules.

The situation of the heir to the duke was different in different countries and situations. In France, the duchy of a Brittany noble like the Duke of Melk could be inherited by his son. In 1577, the Duke of Melk inherited his father's duchy. In England, if the holder of the title of Duke of Fife did not have a son, under certain conditions (the daughter's mother must be Princess Louise), the title could be inherited by the daughter, and then by the daughter's male heir. The daughter of the Duke's remarriage could not inherit the title. In some novels, Jiang Jun inherited the title of Duke of Leinster after 17 years of being alone. His fiancée was a princess of the royal family, and their descendants might become the heir. In some novels, the duke faced various complicated situations that affected the heir. For example, the female protagonist disguised as a man faced the situation of her brother waking up, and her relationship with the duke affected her future direction. This also indirectly affected the heir of the duke and other related issues. Click on the link below to read the comic "The Viscountess Bits Everyone When She's Crazy"
In the reference materials, there were two situations where the duke wanted to have an heir. One was in "The Other Side of the Duke", Duke Rainer asked His Majesty for a year's leave before his health deteriorated due to a secret in his body, hoping to give birth to an heir with an excellent seed. Second, in the relevant records of the Bourbon Dynasty, there was no mention of any special action taken by the duke in order to have an heir. However, the inheritance of heirs was an important part of the family's continuation. For example, the inheritance of the titles of the various branches of the Bourbon family depended on the existence of heirs. When the heirs were cut off (such as some branches of the Bourbon family), they faced the situation of no heir.

In ancient China, dukedom was usually inherited by the eldest son, which was the first son of the wife. However, if the eldest son performed meritorious deeds and was conferred a title, there were two situations: if the eldest son was conferred a title before the father died, the title of the eldest son would remain unchanged after the father died, and the father's dukedom would be inherited by the second son; if the eldest son was conferred a title after the father died, it was a normal promotion of the title, and the previously inherited title would be taken back by the emperor. If there was no legitimate son in the family, the legitimate grandson would be considered first. If there was no legitimate son, it would be the legitimate son's turn to inherit. There were also precedents for wives to inherit the title, and the final decision was made by the emperor. On the basis of the emperor's permission, the inheritance was generally based on the principle of the legitimate eldest son> the legitimate eldest grandson> the legitimate second son> the legitimate eldest son> the legitimate second son> the legitimate grandson> the legitimate eldest grandson. In Britain, the succession of dukes depended on how they were produced. If it was established by a Writ of Summons, the lineage would always be inherited through direct blood heirs, both male and female. If it was established by the letters patent, the appointment usually stipulated that only male heirs could inherit, but through special heirs, other heirs could be appointed, such as female heirs. Moreover, among the subsidiary titles of dukes or marquises, baronies were often stipulated to be inherited by daughters when they were conferred. In addition, there were special circumstances, such as the Duke of Dover being inherited by the youngest son and a male heir (when the eldest son was still alive). If the proposed noble did not have a son and had no hope of having children, a "special heir" could be specified.

In the novel, the duke could call himself "duke" or "duke". However, in some novels, there might be other ways of addressing themselves, such as "public knowledge","envoy", etc. It was necessary to determine the title of the Duke according to the plot and setting of the novel.
The Duke could be addressed as either the Duke or the Duke. In ancient times, Duke was a title of nobility. His rank was equal to or lower than that of a king, and he was the first rank of a duke. The sons of the State Duke were usually referred to as " Shizi " or " Shisun ", while the other descendants could be referred to as " Gongzi " or " Gongzi ". However, according to different eras and cultural backgrounds, there might be some changes in the way the Duke was addressed. After the Tang Dynasty, the title of Duke had basically become a kind of laudatory title. The rewards given to famous officials were no longer the titles of vassals who ruled over the land. Therefore, in writing, people generally would not use titles like "prince" or "grandson". In short, the specific name of the Duke might vary according to the era and region.
The situation of the heir to the duke was different in different countries and situations. In Britain, the rules for the inheritance of dukes like Fife were quite special. If the dukedom holder did not have a son, his daughter was allowed to inherit, and then the male heir of the daughter would inherit the title (the condition was that the daughter's mother must be Princess Louise, and the daughter of the duke's remarriage could not inherit the title). As for the Duke of York, it was usually granted to the second son of the King of England when the son of the previous monarch did not have the title. Except for the first time, most of the other Dukes of York only had one generation, or inherited the throne or died without a male heir. For other countries, such as the Duke of Melk in France, there were no special regulations regarding his heir.

I recommend a few ancient romance novels. In " Prosperous Age's Favorite ", the eldest granddaughter of the High Duke's Public House was framed. After her rebirth, she was no longer soft-hearted. In "Imperial Di", the daughter of the Jingguo Prefecture was killed in her previous life when she helped the prince ascend the throne and become the queen. After her rebirth, she took revenge on her enemy and became the crown princess. The female lead of " Noble Daughter, No Descendant " had a miserable past life. After her rebirth, she abused those who bullied her. The female lead of " Reborn Di Daughter " had retreated in her previous life and was miserable. After her rebirth, she fought with her concubine to collect debts. The female lead of << The Rebirth of the Marquisdom's Di Daughter >> had been reborn. She wanted to torture her back and take back what she owed in her previous life. She even wanted to help her by marrying an " abnormal " idiot husband. These rebirth novels were all super exciting. After the female protagonist was reborn, she would no longer be bullied. There were all kinds of counterattacks and face-slapping. Those who liked to read these novels should not miss it.
