Duke of Ireland
The title of duke of Ireland was created in 1386 for Robert de Vere, 9th Count d' Oxford, a close companion and adviser of Richard II of England, which had previously created it marquis de Dublin . At this period, only some parts of the Ireland (the Suzerainty of Ireland) was under the English domination. In spite of its name, the title is generally regarded as having belonged to the Pairie of England.
It was the first time that titles of marquis and duke were created for a person not belonging to the royal family. The duke fell in disgrace little time after having received the title, which was confiscated to him in 1388.
Since Henri VIII of England took the title of King d' Irlande in 1541, Ireland was not associated any more with a title of duke.
