Dukes of Halland
As early as the 13th century (southern) Halland was given as duchy to a branch of the Danish royal family. In the 14th century, it was given to various relatives of Danish and Swedish royal families, such as Benedict, Duke of Halland 1353-57.
Since 1772 Swedish royal princes have been nominated dukes of provinces without political significance. Such a title was held by Prince Bertil, Duke of Halland (1912–1997); who is survived by Princess Lilian, Duchess of Halland. For earlier dukes see Dukes of Halland.
