Duke of Windsor is a former title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 8 March 1937 for Prince Edward, formerly Edward VIII, following his abdication on 11 December 1936. The dukedom takes its name from the town where Windsor Castle—a residence of English monarchs since the Norman Conquest—is situated. Windsor has been the house name of the royal family since 1917.
