The descent of our dukes from King Henry VII

 All the current dukes in the peerage of England, Scotland, Ireland, Great Britain and the United Kingdom, with the exception of one, can trace their descent from the first Tudor King Henry VII. Some have multiple descents, but I show only one line here. Several dukes are descended in the direct male line from King Charles II and a mistress, and I have attempted to show a legitimate Royal descent wherever possible.

Dukes in the Peerage of England descending from Henry VII:-

Beaufort, Duke of (E, 1682); Bedford, Duke of (E, 1694); Cornwall, Duke of (E, 1337) - the dukedom is held by the Heir Apparent from the later of his birth or his parent's succession to the Throne; Devonshire, Duke of (E, 1694); Grafton, Duke of (E, 1675); Marlborough, Duke of (E, 1702); Norfolk, Duke of (E, 1483); Richmond, Duke of (E, 1675); Rutland, Duke of (E, 1703); St Albans, Duke of (E, 1683/4). 

Dukes in the Peerage of Scotland descending from Henry VII:-

Argyll, Duke of (S, 1701); Atholl, Duke of (S, 1703); Buccleuch, Duke of (S,1663); Hamilton, Duke of (S, 1643); Lennox, Duke of (S, 1675) - the dukedom has been held by the Dukes of Richmond since 1675, when the 1st Duke of Richmond was created Lord Torbolton, Earl of Darnley and Duke of Lennox; Montrose, Duke of (S, 1707); Queensberry, Duke of (S, 1683/4) - the dukedom has been held by the Dukes of Buccleuch since 1810, when the 3rd Duke of Buccleuch inherited the Lordship of Douglas of Kinmount, Middlebie and Dornock, the Viscountcy of Nith, Thorolwold and Ross, the Earldom of Drumlanrig and Sanquhar, the Marquessate of Dumfriesshire, and the Dukedom of Queensberry; Rothesay, Duke of (S, 1398) - like the Dukedom of Cornwall in England and the Earldom of Carrick in Scotland, the Dukedom of Rothesay is held by the Heir Apparent to the Throne from the moment of his birth or his parent's accession to the Throne if this is later; Roxburghe, Duke of (S, 1707)

Dukes in the Peerage of Ireland descended from Henry VII:-

Abercorn, Duke of (I, 1868); Leinster, Duke of (I, 1766).

 Dukes in the Peerage of Great Britain descended from Henry VII:-

Brandon, Duke of (GB, 1711) - the dukedom has been held by the Dukes of Hamilton since 1711, when the 4th Duke of Hamilton was created Duke of Brandon; Manchester, Duke of (GB, 1719); Northumberland, Duke of (GB, 1766); 

 Dukes in the Peerage of the United Kingdom descended from Henry VII:-

Argyll, Duke of (UK, 1892) - the dukedom has been held by the Dukes of Argyll since 1892, when the 8th Duke of Argyll in the Peerage of Scotland was created Duke of Argyll in the Peerage of the United Kingdom; Cambridge, Duke of (UK, 2011); Fife, Duke of (UK, 1900); Gloucester, Duke of (UK, 1928); Gordon, Duke of (UK, 1876) - the dukedom has been held by the Dukes of Richmond since 1876, when the 6th Duke of Richmond was created Earl of Kinrara and Duke of Gordon; Kent, Duke of (UK, 1934); Sussex, Duke of (UK, 2018); Sutherland, Duke of (UK, 1833); Wellington, Duke of (UK, 1814); Westminster, Duke of (UK, 1874); York, Duke of (UK, 1986).

Duke for whom I can find no direct descent from Henry VII:-

Somerset (Peerage of England, 1546/7). A line of descent may exist but I cannot find one. Many of the abovementioned dukes have Seymour ancestors, and descents from Dukes of Somerset, but the current 19th holder of the peerage seems to have evaded a Tudor descent. Henry VIII's third Queen was of course Jane Seymour, an ancestral aunt.

The 4th Baron Stamp died 20 October, 2022. He was 87.

He was educated at Leys School and Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, and St Mary's Hosp Medical School;  MB BChir 1961; MD 1972; FRCP 1978.

Trevor Charles Bosworth Stamp was born 18 September, 1935, son of the 3rd Baron Stamp (1907-1987), and his wife the former Frances Dawes Bosworth (1908-98), and succeeded to the peerage (created 1938), on his father's death, 16 November, 1987.

His father, Trevor Charles Stamp, succeeded to the peerage, in 1941, succeeding an elder brother, who goes down in history as having held a peerage for the shortest time. His grandfather, Josiah, the 1st Baron, and his eldest son, Wilfred, were both killed by enemy action, 16 April, 1941, when their London home was bombed. By the decision of the House of Lords, in September, 1941, and with the approval of King George VI, the decision being analogous to the Law of Propery Act 1925, which provides that where two persons have died in circumstances rendering uncertain which of them survived the other, such deaths should be presumed to have occurred in order of seniority. 

Trevor Stamp was twice married, firstly, 21 March, 1963 (div 1971), Anne Carolynn Churchill (born 1940), daughter of John Kenneth Churchill (1913-2004), of Tunbridge Wells, Kent, and his wife the former Iris Georgina Nash; and married 2ndly, 18 July, 1975 (div 1987), Carol Anne, daughter of Robert Keith Russell, of Lower Bourne, Farnham, Surrey.

Lord Stamp leaves two daughters from his first marriage, the Hon Catherine (born 22 Oct, 1963), and the Hon Emma (born 22 Apr, 1968), and leaves a daughter from his second marriage, the Hon Lucinda (born 21 Apr, 1976), and a son, the Hon Nicholas Charles Trevor Stamp (born 27 Feb, 1978), who now succeeds as 5th Baron. He is married with a son, Leo (born 8 Dec, 2021).
