The title Earl of Huntly was originally created for Alexander Gordon in 1499. Gordon's descendant, the sixth Earl, became a Marquess a century after the creation of the Earldom. Then, the Dukedom of Gordon was bestowed upon the fourth Marquess; the Dukedom became extinct with the fifth duke's death.
