Very nice pictures! Who is on the top picture? Renata 11:48 Oct 23, 2002 (UTC)

Bess of Hardwick's husband William Cavendish -- if you put your cursor on it, it should say that -- who's the one the dukes are descended from. I haven't put his picture on his own page yet, because I'm hoping to find one in color. These pictures came from a booklet on Chatsworth I bought when I was there in 1986, and I hate black-and-white pictures, but I couldn't resist showing off. Glad you approve. -- isis 17:45 Oct 25, 2002 (UTC)


Would anyone object if I moved each Duke to his own separate page, leaving only a list on this page? If no responses, I'm going to do it.

Good move! Deb 19:14 25 May 2003 (UTC)
Is there a preference to the title of pages for lists of Dukes, Earls etc? personally I think the singular should be used and that this page should be moved to Duke of Devonshire. Mintguy 22:32 9 Jun 2003 (UTC)

As I said on your user talk page, I have no especial preference. I think the plural makes a bit more sense, in the general "logical common sense" aspect, but if the wikipedia conventions are different, I have no objection. john 00:25 10 Jun 2003 (UTC)


With Earl of Burlington redirected here, the famous architect-Earl is rather lost in the ducal crowd. What if one is basically interested in Palladian architecture? Wetman 20:43, 13 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Earl of Burlington ought not redirect here, since there have been non-Cavendish/Devonshire Earls of Burlington. It ought to have its own article. john 22:03, 13 Feb 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Son & heir

The "son & heir" link points to the wrong Marquess of Hartington. —Ashley Y 03:59, 2004 Aug 26 (UTC)

Have moved the former to the subject's full name, and created William Cavendish, Marquess of Hartington as a disambiguation page. I don't really know enough to even start a stub on the current heir, however.
