Does a marquess inherit the title duke when his father the duke dies?
Only if his father was a duke. There are two types of marquess: 1) A marquess by right. Marquess is the family's senior title, held by the head of the family, e.g. the Marquess of Bath, owner of Longleat. 2) A marquess by courtesy. The eldest son of any peer above the rank of baron takes his father's second most senior title as a courtesy title. A courtesy title has never conferred the right to sit in the House of Lords, and the holder is not a peer of the realm. Usually, but not always, a duke also holds a marquessate, which can be used by his eldest son e.g.. the Duke of Bedford's eldest son is the Marquess of Tavistock. He will become the duke on his father's death. Where a duke does not hold a marquessate, his eldest son will not be a marquess, e.g. the Duke of Norfolk's eldest son is the Earl of Arundel, because the earldom of Arundel is the second most senior title held by the family.
