The King, later Duckworth-King Baronetcy, of Bellevue in the County of Kent, was a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain.[1] It was created on 18 July 1792 for the naval officer and colonial governor Richard King. He was succeeded by his son, the second Baronet. He was also a naval commander and fought at the Battle of Trafalgar. The fourth Baronet assumed the additional surname of Duckworth in 1888.[2] The title became extinct on the death of the seventh Baronet in 1972.
