The Dukes of Devonshire are members of the aristocratic Cavendish family in the United Kingdom. They were related to the Dukes of Newcastle from the sixteenth century, with whom they shared the name of Cavendish. Their common ancestors were Sir William Cavendish and Bess of Hardwick.

Although today less often called the county of Devon Devonshire, the title is that of Duke of Devonshire. This branch of the Cavendish is one of the richest and most influential aristocratic families in England since the sixteenth century.

The eldest son of the Duke of Devonshire can use the courtesy title Marquess of Hartington, while the eldest son of the eldest son can use the Earl of Burlington; every son of the Duke can use the title of Lord Cavendish. The titles of Marquess of Hartington, Earl of Devonshire and Baron Cavendish of Hardwick are all in the Peerage of England, while the title Earl of Burlington and Baron Carvendish Keighley belong to the Peerage of the United Kingdom.

The name comes from the eponymous village Carvendish in Suffolk in England and Sir John Cavendish, who lived in the fourteenth century and died during the revolt of the peasants.

His two great-grandchildren were son William Cavendish, the second husband of Bess of Hardwick, and writer George Cavendish, the elder brother of William and biographer of Thomas Wolsey.

The descendants of William Cavendish were first earls of Devonshire. The 1st Earl was created August 7, 1618. The line of Dukes began when William Cavendish, 4th Earl of Devonshire, was appointed the first Duke of Devonshire in 1694.

Many of the Dukes of Devonshire have been prominent politicians. There was a Prime Minister, leader of the Liberal Party, the Governor General of Canada. The physicist Henry Cavendish was also part of this family.

Despite the title, the central area of ??the family is in Derbyshire. Some believe that the Derbyshire was initially considered as a title to give the family rather than the Devonshire but we can not find some evidence of that.

Principal residences of the family are Chatsworth House and Bolton Abbey. She also owns Lismore Castle in County Waterford in Ireland.

Devon (formerly Devonshire, Cornish Dewnens, Dyfnaint Welsh, Breton Devnent) is a county in southwestern England, bordered by Cornwall to the west and Dorset and Somerset to the east. This is the fourth largest county in England. The name "Devonshire" was common but now it is hardly used by only a few names and titles (the Duke of Devonshire, for example). It still appears on the signposts in the county. Devon took over the ancient kingdom of Domnonée britton, which, after its conquest by the Anglo-Saxons, was reduced in Cornwall UK. The name derives from Devon.

Devon is a popular tourist destination with its beaches and national parks, Dartmoor and Exmoor. Both Devon coasts are popular for their beaches, the north coast overlooking the Bristol Channel and attracts surfers, while the south coast of the Channel, is a resort with the traditional British seaside resorts of Torquay and Exmouth.
