Lyn 1: 'n '''Hertogdom''' is 'n gebied, [[leenwese]], of domein wat deur 'n 'n [[hertog]] of [[hertogin]] geregeer word. Histories was sommige hertogdomme in kontinentale [[Europa]] soewerein, terwyl ander, veral in [[Frankryk]] en [[Verenigde Koninkryk\|Britanje]]) ondergeskikte distrikte van 'n [[koninkryk]]. Tradisioneel is 'n [[groothertogdom]], soos [[Luxemburg]], gewoonlik as onafhanklik en soewerein gesien. Soewereine hertogdomme was algemeen in die [[Heilige Romeinse Ryk]] en [[Duits]]sprekende gebiede. In [[Frankryk]] het 'n aantal hertogdomme in die [[Middeleeue]] bestaan. Koningin [[Elizabeth II van die Vereingde Koninkryk]] hou steeds die middeleeuse Franse titel [[Hertog van Normandië]]; die enigste grondgebied wat steeds met die Hertogdom van Normandië verbind is, is die [[Kanaaleilande]]. Belangrike Franse hertogdomme het ingesluit [[Normandië]], [[Hertogdom van Boergondië\|Boergondië]], [[Brettagne]] en [[Akwitanië]]. Tradisioneen is 'n [[groothertogdom]], soos [[Luxemburg]], gewoonlik as onafhanklik en soewerein gesien. Soewereine hertogdomme was alegemeen in die [[Heilige Romeinse Ryk]] en [[Duits]]sprekende gebiede. In middeleeuse [[Engeland]], is die gebiede [[Lancashire]] en [[Cornwall]] hertogdomme gemaak met sekere magte wat aan hulle hertoë gegee is. Die Hertogdom van Lancaster is in [[1351]] gestig maar dit is met die Kroon verenig in [[1399]] toe die Hertog Hendrik Bolingbroke die troon van Engeland as [[Hendrik IV van Engeland\|Hendrik IV]] bestyg het. Die Hertogdom van Cornwall is in [[1337]] geskep en is opeenvolgend deur Hertoë van Cornwall gehou wat ook erfgename van die kroon was. Die hertogdomme het sedertdien hulle politieke rol verloor. {{Feit\|date=Februarie 2007}}. Daar is egter 'n voortslepende Dispuut oor die status van Cornwall.{{feit}} In [[France]], a number of duchies existed in the medieval period. Queen [[Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom]] still holds the medieval French title of [[Duke of Normandy]]; the only lands still attached to the Duchy of Normandy are the [[Channel Islands]] although there no longer is a King of France. Important French duchies included [[Normandy]], [[Burgundy]], [[Brittany]] and [[Aquitaine]]. In medieval [[England]], the territories of [[Lancashire]] and [[Cornwall]] were made duchies, with certain powers accruing to their Dukes. The [[Duchy of Lancaster]] was created in 1351 but became merged with the Crown when, in 1399, the Duke, Henry Bolingbroke ascended the throne of England as Henry IV. The [[Duchy of Cornwall]] was created in 1337 and held successively by Dukes of Cornwall who were also heirs to the throne. These duchies today have lost their political role,{{Fact\|date=February 2007}} although there is an ongoing dispute over the status of Cornwall. In more recent times, territorial duchies have become rare; most dukedoms conferred in the last few centuries have been of a purely symbolic character (see [[Duke]]). No independent duchies exist today; however, [[Luxembourg]] is an independent [[Grand Duchy]].
