A rank held by the leaders of the Great Houses, the dukedom is, in absence of a Grand Duke, the highest peerage in Ivalice, holding estates and privileges second only to the Monarch himself. There are four formal Dukedoms held in letters-patent, though only three are currently in issue. Each Duke is invested with a formal military role in their province, and holds full jurisdiction above the Judges, save for Royal Judges. Dukes are historically leaders in Parliament, have close connections with the throne, and are stationed to serve as Regent when the need arises, a tradition Parliament has contested of late. Dukes are accorded seats in the Senate. | A rank held by the leaders of the Great Houses, the dukedom is, in absence of a Grand Duke, the highest peerage in Ivalice, holding estates and privileges second only to the Monarch himself.
