===Titles===
Bismarck was created ''{{lang|de|Graf von Bismarck-Schönhausen}}'' ("Count of Bismarck-Schönhausen") in 1865 and ''{{lang|de|[[Fürst von Bismarck]]}}'' ("Prince of Bismarck") in 1871. In 1890, he was granted the title of ''{{lang|de|Herzog von Lauenburg}}'' ("[[Duke of Lauenburg]]"); the [[duchy]] was one of the territories that [[Prussia]] seized from the king of Denmark in 1864.

It was Bismarck's lifelong ambition to be assimilated into the [[German mediatisation|mediatised]] houses of Germany. He attempted to persuade Kaiser Wilhelm I that he should be endowed with the sovereign Duchy of [[Saxe-Lauenburg]], in reward for his services to the imperial family and the German Empire. This was on the understanding that Bismarck would immediately restore the duchy to Prussia; all he wanted was the status and privileges of a mediatised family for himself and his descendants. This novel idea was rejected by the conservative emperor, who thought that he had already given the chancellor enough rewards. There is reason to believe that he informed Wilhelm II of his wishes; after being forced by the sovereign to resign, he received the purely honorific title of "Duke of Lauenburg", without the duchy itself and the sovereignty that would have transformed his family into a mediatised house. Bismarck regarded it as a mockery of his ambition, and he considered nothing crueller than this action of the emperor.<ref>{{Cite news |last=A Veteran Diplomat |url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F30613FC3C5D16738DDDAE0A94D1405B888CF1D3 |title=The "Mediatized" – or the "High Nobility" of Europe; Consisting of Something Like Fifty families Which Enjoyed Petty Sovereignty Before the Holy Roman Empire's Overthrow, They Still Exercise Certain Special Privileges Mixed with Unusual Restrictions |date=27 September 1908 |work=[[The New York Times]] |access-date=11 February 2017 |archive-date=22 February 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140222185641/http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F30613FC3C5D16738DDDAE0A94D1405B888CF1D3 |url-status=live }}</ref>
