=== Second creation (1694) === [[File:Arms of Holles.svg|thumb|Arms of Holles, Ermine, two piles in point sable.<ref>{{cite book |last= Burke |first= Bernard |author-link=Bernard Burke |title= The general armory of England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales; comprising a registry of armorial bearings from the earliest to the present time |date=1884|publisher=Harrison & sons|location=London |pages=500|url=https://archive.org/details/generalarmoryofe00burk/page/500/mode/2up?view=theater&q=holles}}</ref>]] The second Duke's third daughter, Lady Margaret Cavendish (1661-1717), married [[John Holles, 1st Duke of Newcastle-upon-Tyne|John Holles, 4th Earl of Clare]], who was incidentally her first cousin, her mother's sister's son. In 1694, the dukedom was revived when he was created '''Marquess of Clare''' and '''Duke of Newcastle upon Tyne'''. The Holles family descended from [[John Holles, 1st Earl of Clare|John Holles]], who was created '''Baron Haughton''', of [[Haughton, Nottinghamshire|Haughton]] in Nottinghamshire, in 1616 and '''Earl of Clare''' in 1624. His second son was a politician, [[Denzil Holles, 1st Baron Holles]]. Lord Clare was succeeded by his eldest son, the second Earl. He represented [[East Retford (UK Parliament constituency)|East Retford]], Nottinghamshire, in the [[British House of Commons|House of Commons]] and served as [[Lord Lieutenant of Nottinghamshire]]. His son, the third Earl, was briefly [[Member of Parliament|MP]] for [[Nottinghamshire (UK Parliament constituency)|Nottinghamshire]] in 1660. He was succeeded by his son, the aforementioned fourth Earl of Clare, who married a daughter of the second Duke of Newcastle. In 1694, three years after the title became extinct, the Dukedom of Newcastle was revived and granted to the late Duke's son-in-law. The new duke of Newcastle and his wife, Lady Margaret, had only one daughter and no sons. Therefore, on his death in 1711, all his titles became extinct.
