The title Duke of Richmond has been created several times in the Peerage of England. The Dukedom was first created for the illegitimate son of Henry VIII, Henry Fitzroy, upon whose death it became extinct. The next creation was for the second Duke of Lennox in 1623; it became extinct upon his death. It was created again for the fourth Duke of Lennox. Upon the death of the sixth Duke of Lennox, both Dukedoms became extinct. The Dukedoms of Richmond and Lennox were created together 1675 for Charles Lennox, an illegitimate son of Charles II. The Duke of Richmond and Lennox was created Duke of Gordon in 1876. Thus, the Duke holds three dukedoms, more than any other person in the realm.

The subsidiary titles are: Earl of March (created 1675), Earl of Darnley (1675), Earl of Kinrara (1876), Lord Methuen (1675) and Baron Settrington (1675). The titles Earl of Darnley and Lord Methuen were created in the peerage of Scotland along with the Dukedom of Lennox. The titles Earl of March and Baron Settrington were created in the peerage of England along with the Dukedom of Richmond. Finally, the title Earl of Kinrara was created in the peerage of the United Kingdom with the Dukedom of Gordon. The eldest son of the Duke uses the courtesy title of Earl of March, Darnley and Kinrara.
