The title of Duke is a noble rank in the peerage system, typically granted to members of the aristocracy. In the United Kingdom, it is one of the highest ranks, just below that of a prince. Dukes often govern large estates and hold significant social and political influence. In some countries, the title may have different connotations or historical significance.
