Home > Duke of Newcastle

The title was twice again created, and twice again extinct. Then, the title of "Newcastle-under-Lyme" (not the previously used "Newcastle-upon-Tyne") was created in 1757, but that title also became extinct upon the death of the tenth Duke, as no male heirs to the title remained.
