El '''Duque de Kent''' es un título, que ha sido creado varias veces, de la [[nobleza]] de [[Gran Bretaña]] y el [[Reino Unido]], el más reciente como un ducado real para el cuarto hijo de [[Jorge V del Reino Unido|Jorge V]].
 
== Prehistoria ==
A title associated with Kent first appears anciently with the [[Kingdom of Kent]] (or Cantware), one of the seven Anglo-Saxon kingdoms that later merged to form the [[Kingdom of England]]. The [[Kings of Kent|Kings of Cantware]] (or Kent) date back to about 449. After 825, when the Kingdom of Kent was taken over by [[Egbert of Wessex|Egbert, King of Wessex]], Kent became a dependency of [[Kingdom of Wessex|Wessex]] and was ruled by sub-kings, usually related to the Wessex rulers. The titular kingship became something like the heir-apparent's title, as Aethelwulf, Egbert's son, became King of Kent in 825. By 860, Kent lost its status as a kingdom, becoming absorbed into Wessex.<ref>[http://www.historyfiles.co.uk/KingListsBritain/EnglandKent.htm Reyes de Kent]</ref>
 
== Condes de Kent ==
{{AP|Conde de Kent}}
In the peerage of England the first title of Kent was that of the [[Earl of Kent]]. After the death of his father, [[Godwin, Earl of Wessex|Godwin the Earl of Wessex]], [[Leofwine Godwinson|Leofwine]] (c. 1035&ndash;1066), sometime between 1056 and 1058, became [[Earl of Kent]], a new earldom at the time.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20091027151836/http://www.geocities.com/egfrothos/Godwins.html Godwin]</ref> It is possible that Godwin was the first Earl of Kent, since he ruled over that area as well as many others.

It was not until 1141 that the title returned, this time for [[William de Ipres, 1st Earl of Kent|William de Ipres]]; but he was deprived of the title in 1155. In 1227 it was revived for [[Hubert de Burgh, 1st Earl of Kent|Hubert de Burgh]], but became extinct with his death. In 1321, it was again revived for [[Edmund of Woodstock, 1st Earl of Kent|Edmund of Woodstock]], and through the marriage of [[Joan of Kent|Joan Plantagenet]] to [[Thomas Holland, 1st Earl of Kent|Thomas Holland]], the title passed to the Holland family, which held the title until 1408. In 1461 it was revived for [[William Neville, 1st Earl of Kent|William Neville]], and then in 1465 for [[Edmund Grey, 1st Earl of Kent|Edmund Grey]]. The Grey family held the title until [[Henry Grey, 1st Duke of Kent|Henry Grey]] died without male heirs.
 
== Marques, después Duque de Kent ==
[[Henry Grey, 1st Duke of Kent|Henry Grey]] (1671&ndash;1740) succeeded his father, [[Anthony Grey, 11th Earl of Kent|Anthony Grey]], as the 12th Earl of Kent in 1702. In 1706, he was elevated to Marquess of Kent, along with Earl of Harold and Viscount Goderich. In 1710 he was elevated once again as Duke of Kent, and following the death of his sons, [[Marquess Grey]] (1740) with a special remainder to his granddaughter. Henry had one son and five daughters with his first wife, Jemima Crew (d. 1728), and one son and one daughter with his second wife, Sophia Bentinck (d. 1741). By the time of Henry's death in 1740, both of his sons had died, Anthony (in 1723) and George (in 1733), leaving the Duke of Kent without a male heir. His granddaughter [[Jemima Yorke, 2nd Marchioness Grey|Lady Jemima Campbell]] would inherit two titles in her own right, Marchioness Grey and [[Baron Lucas of Crudwell|Baroness Lucas]]; but all Henry's other titles, particularly Duke of Kent, became extinct with his death.
 
== Ducado Real, 1799 ==
On 23 April 1799 the dukedom of Kent was, as a joint title with the dukedom of Strathearn and the [[Earl of Dublin|earldom of Dublin]], given to [[George III of the United Kingdom|King George III's]] fourth son, [[Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn|Prince Edward Augustus]]. Edward had only one child, a daughter, Princess Alexandrina Victoria (the future [[Queen Victoria]]). Upon Edward's death in 1820, the dukedom of Kent became extinct, as he had no legitimate male heir.
 
== Condado Real, 1866 ==
The next creation of a title of Kent, was not that of [[Duke]] or [[Marquess]], but rather that of [[Earl]], with the creation of [[Alfred, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha|Prince Alfred]] (1844&ndash;1900), the second son of [[Queen Victoria]] and [[Albert, Prince Consort|Prince Albert]], as [[Duke of Edinburgh]], [[Earl of Ulster]], and of [[Earl of Kent|Kent]] in 1866. The Duke of Edinburgh (who later became the reigning Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha) had only one son, [[Prince Alfred of Edinburgh|Prince Alfred]], who would have probably inherited the title of [[Earl of Kent]], among his father's other titles, had he not died before his father in 1899. With Prince Alfred's death in 1900, Kent's title became extinct.
 
== Ducado Real, 1934 ==
In 1934, [[Prince George, Duke of Kent|Prince George]] (1902&ndash;1942), the fourth son of [[George V|King George V]] of the United Kingdom and [[Mary of Teck|Queen Mary]], was created Duke of Kent, [[Earl of St Andrews]] and Baron Downpatrick. Prince George had three children before his death in 1942: [[Prince Edward, Duke of Kent|Prince Edward]], [[Princess Alexandra, The Honourable Lady Ogilvy|Princess Alexandra]], and [[Prince Michael of Kent|Prince Michael]]. [[Prince Edward, Duke of Kent|Prince Edward]], upon his father's death, succeeded to his father's peerages.
 
The current [[Prince Edward, Duke of Kent|Duke of Kent]] has two sons. King George V's [[Letters Patent]] of 30 November 1917 restricted the style ''Royal Highness'' and the titular dignity of ''Prince'' to the sons of the Sovereign, the male line grandsons of the Sovereign, and the eldest living son of the eldest son of the [[Prince of Wales]]. Great grandchildren of the Sovereign in the male line enjoy the [[Courtesy titles in the United Kingdom|courtesy titles]] of the children of dukes. Therefore, the heir apparent to the dukedom of Kent (or properly the 1934 creation of it), is [[George Windsor, Earl of St Andrews|George, Earl of St. Andrews]] (b. 1962). The Earl of St. Andrews married in 1988, and has three children. His son [[Edward Windsor, Lord Downpatrick|Lord Downpatrick]] (b. 1988) is second in line to his grandfather's peerages. When Lord St. Andrews succeeds, the dukedom will cease to be a Royal dukedom; as a great-grandson of a sovereign he will be styled ''His Grace The Duke of Kent.'' After Lord St. Andrews and Lord Downpatrick, the current duke's younger son [[Lord Nicholas Windsor]] is in remainder to the dukedom, as are the current duke's brother, [[Prince Michael of Kent]], and his son, [[Lord Frederick Windsor]].

== Escudo de armas ==
[[FileArchivo:Coat of Arms of Edward, Duke of Kent.svg|thumb|right|200px|Coat of Arms of Prince Edward, the current Duke of Kent.]]
The coat of arms anciently associated with Kent is that of a rampant white horse upon a red field. This is primarily associated with the Kingdom of Kent and possibly the earldom as well. Today, this is seen on the Council of Kent's arms and flag. As a direct descendant of Queen Victoria, this is not the coat of arms of the present Duke of Kent. The coat of arms of the Duke of Kent consists of the following:
