Duking it Out, British Style

Edwardian Promenade recently posted this article talking about British dukes, who are "an endangered species."  Although I am bothered by the idea of dukes because of how they represent the an unequal distribution of wealth, I find myself fascinated by the dukes without money.  Also, I find it really interesting that Churchill turned down the opportunity to become a duke.
