Duckworth-King baronets
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The King, later Duckworth-King baronetcy, of Bellevue in the County of Kent, was a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain.[1] It was created on 18 July 1792 for the naval officer and colonial governor Richard King.[2][3]
He was succeeded by his son, the 2nd Baronet, also a naval officer; he commanded HMS Achille at the Battle of Trafalgar. The 4th Baronet assumed the additional surname of Duckworth in 1888.[2][4] The title became extinct on the death of the 7th Baronet in 1972.[5]
