Heraldic achievement of the 1st Duke of Bassano

The French titles of Comte Maret and Duc de Bassano were created by Emperor Napoleon I, in 1807 and 1809 respectively, for Hugues-Bernard Maret, a French diplomat and statesman. The ducal title refers to Bassano del Grappa in Italy.

Both titles became extinct in 1906, upon the death of the first duke's grandson.
