Duke of Portland

The Duke of Portland is a peerage title created in 1716 for Henry Bentinck , who was already Earl of Portland. The dukedom came into the possession of the Cavendish-Bentinck family by marriage. The Dukedom of Portland became extinct on the 9th Duke's death, though the 9th Duke's distant cousin succeeded him as Earl of Portland.
