Am 2. Dezember 1682 wurde Somerset das neu geschaffene Dukedom von König Karl II. verliehen. Es war eine Anerkennung seine Dienste für den König: "having been eminently serviceable for the king since his most happy restoration, in consideration thereof and of his most noble descent from King Edward III by John de Beaufort, eldest son of John of Gaunt by Catherine Swynford".
