The Marquess of Blandford is son of the Duke of Marlborough.  See 
below for the rest of the titles associated with the Dukedom of 
Marlborough.  Is there anything special this Marquess of Blandford 
has done, since he apparently has earned your lack of respect?  
Anyway, there will be ample opportunity to strip him of his peerage 
once his father dies, since he (the Marquess) is the next in line for 
the Dukedom.

Below is a list of the 31 British non-Royal dukedoms that I know 
exist; as my sources are less than exhaustive I have probably missed 
some, but all the Type 23s should be represented here.  Most, but not 
all, have more information given below the list.  This is another 
part of the information-files I assembled for the previously 
mentioned rpg-campaign.  Note that the double listing for the Dukedom 
of Argyll is not an error; there *are* two dukedoms of Argyll.

Numbers denote where multiple dukedoms are assembled on one hand.
