Category:Dukes of York

This category contains men who held the title Duke of York in the English or British peerage.

The title "Duke of York" is traditionally, but not always, given to the second son of the monarch of Britain. The dukedom has been created eight times since 1341.

No Duke has inherited the title from his father since 1474, when it passed from Edward IV of England to Richard of Shrewsbury. Since that time, every Duke has either died without a male heir or has become King, and merged the ducal title with the royal one.
