Duke of Berwick
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Duke of Berwick-upon-Tweed)
The title Duke of Berwick, referring to the town of Berwick-upon-Tweed in England by the border with Scotland, was created in 1687 for James FitzJames, the illegitimate son of King James II and Arabella Churchill. The title, and its subsidiary titles (Baron of Bosworth and Earl of Tinmouth) are generally considered to have been forfeit in 1695 when the Duke was attainted following the enforced exile of his natural father. However, some have argued that the forfeiture was never properly carried out, and that the title thus remains extant, in the hands of the Spanish Duque de Peñaranda.
