 [No title]
Ducal authority was divided among three officials--the royal lieutenant, the constable of Bordeaux, and the seneschal of Gascony--who were appointed by the king-duke and served at pleasure.
We may be certain that the authority of the vice-ducal officials extended to independent exercise of ducal sovereignty, because during his tenure Guy Ferre the Younger had possession and use of the seal of the duchy of Aquitaine;38 this enabled Sir Guy to issue mandates and grants on his own recognizance.
This not surprisingly disrupted administrative continuity to the detriment of ducal authority, and was probably a result of the enormous demands for patronage placed on a late-medieval prince.

Although he performed a crucial function in the administration of the duchy, the constables personal role in maintaining ducal presence in Gascony, particularly after the advent of Edward II, was subordinate to that of the seneschal, who wielded vice-ducal powers.
Philip the Fair actively encouraged Gascons to bring appeals against ducal decisions to the French royal court, where they were assured a favorable response.48 Edward IIs representatives, especially the seneschal, acted on the king-dukes behalf to prevent this deliberate erosion of ducal authority.
From 1310 until 1320, he was relied upon as a ducal commissioner in peace negotiations with French plenipotentiaries at the Process of Périgueux.

 Grand Ducal Standards until c.1903 (Hesse, Germany)
Ströhl 1897 shows the standard of the grand duke with a ratio of almost exactly 7:10, while the standard for other members of the grand ducal family and the state flag and ensign are shown as 4:5.
So the grand ducal standard with the garter-surrounded arms could have been used since at least 1865 (Louis IV was invested earlier, but became grand duke after 1865).
Ströhl 1897 shows the standard for other members of the grand ducal family with a ratio of 4:5 (same as the state flag and ensign, but the standard of the grand duke almost 7:10).

 The surviving prerogatives and titles of the Grand Ducal House of Tuscany   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The survival of the Grand Ducal House of Tuscany, a branch of the House of Habsburg-Lothringen, whose members also enjoys the titles, rank and privileges of Archduke of Austria, Royal Prince of Hungary and Bohemia, was of little interest to the citizens of Florence and the surrounding region until relatively recently.
The history of Tuscany has been viewed through the distorted perspective imposed by four generations of historians wedded to the view that Italian unification was of benefit to all, and that the pre-unitarian states were merely the puppets of the great powers.
The Grand Dukes, of course, were sensible to the traditions of the House of Habsburg and, as eventual heirs to Austria in the event of the extinction of the male line of Franz I, conformed to the laws of the House in respect of marriage.

The Ducal Palace, one of Venice's most famous landmarks, was vandalized this weekend, causing a few small fragments to fall off a 15th-century column on the building's facade, city officials said Monday.
The Ducal Palace, a building overlooking St. Mark's Square that served as the seat of Venice's rulers for centuries, was damaged Sunday night, city official Sofia Arinaldi said.
A vandal used a blunt object to strike the ornate capital at the top of the column, severing the arms of the figures of Jesus Christ and Moses, along with a tablet bearing the 10 commandments, Arinaldi said.

Ducal studeerde Germaanse filologie in Leuven en was lang actief in de Marxistisch-Leninistische beweging en de Maoïstische partij AMADA.
De gedichten van Ducal werden bij verschijnen als tamelijk schokkend ervaren vanwege de ontluisterende manier waarop het huwelijk erin wordt beschreven en de quasi-blasfemische manier waarop religieuze thema's worden aangesneden.
Het werk van Ducal wordt doorgaans geplaatst in het milieu van postmoderne dichters als Spinoy, Van Bastelaere en Dewulf en het tijdschrift Yang, al bestaat er ook twijfel of zijn affiniteit daarmee wel zo groot is.
