Editing Duke of Cornwall (section)

==Dukes of Cornwall, 1460 creation==
When [[Richard of York, 3rd Duke of York|Richard Plantagenet, Duke of York]], pressed his claim to the throne, he was made heir apparent to [[Henry VI of England|Henry VI]] by the [[Act of Accord]]. On 31 October 1460, he was made [[prince of Wales]] and [[earl of Chester]], duke of Cornwall and [[Lord Protector|Lord Protector of England]]. Since he was not the eldest living son of the monarch, this creation was outside the terms of the 1337 warrant; York died in battle two months later, on 30 December 1460.
