Duke of Dalberg

The title of Duke of Dalberg was created by the French Emperor Napoleon I on 14 April 1810 for Emmerich von Dalberg, the nephew of Karl Theodor von Dalberg, Prince-Primate of the Confederation of the Rhine and Grand Duke of Frankfurt. He died on 27 April 1833. His daughter, Marie Louise von Dalberg (1813–1860), and heiress married firstly Sir Richard Acton, 7th Baronet (by whom she was the mother of John Dalberg-Acton, 1st Baron Acton) and secondly Granville George Leveson-Gower, 2nd Earl Granville, but as the Duke had no sons, the title became extinct.
