High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Duke of Buckingham and Normanby was a title in the Peerage of England. The full title was Duke of the County of Buckingham and of Normanby but in practice only Duke of Buckingham and Normanby was used. It was created in 1703 for John Sheffield, 3rd Earl of Mulgrave, a notable Tory politician of the late Stuart period, who served under Queen Anne as Lord Privy Seal and Lord President of the Council. He had already been made Marquess of Normanby, in the County of Lincoln, in 1694. The titles became extinct on the death of his son, the second Duke, in 1735. The Sheffield family descended from Sir Edmund Sheffield, who in 1547 was raised to the Peerage of England as Baron Sheffield, of Butterwicke. The third Baron served as Lord Lieutenant of Yorkshire from 1603 to 1619 and was created Earl of Mulgrave in 1626, also in the Peerage of England. On the death of the second Duke in 1735 the Sheffield estates passed to his half-brother Charles Herbert Sheffield, the illegitimate son of the first Duke by Frances Stewart. He was created a Baronet in 1755 (for more information, see Sheffield Baronets, of Normanby).
