Baron Bolsover
Baron Bolsover , of Bolsover Castle in the County of Derby , was a hereditary British title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom .
The title was created on April 23, 1880 for Lady Augusta Cavendish-Bentinck (1834-1893). The award was made with the special addition that the title could also be inherited from other marriages by the male descendants of her husband Lieutenant-General Arthur Cavendish-Bentinck (1819–1877). Accordingly, on her death in 1893, her stepson William Cavendish-Bentinck, 6th Duke of Portland , inherited the title. This had held the title Duke of Portland , as well as other subordinate titles, since 1879 . When his son William Cavendish-Bentinck, 7th Duke of Portland died on March 21, 1977 without male heirs, the Bolsover barony became extinct. The Dukedom and the other titles went to his relative Ferdinand Cavendish-Bentinck as the 8th Duke.
