Opposed to dukes or the authority and power of dukedoms; anti-aristocratic.
From anti- (against) + duke (a nobleman of high rank). A rare political term from feudal and post-feudal contexts.
Antiduke movements appeared during revolutions when people decided that hereditary nobles shouldn't automatically rule—it's the medieval precursor to modern democracy.
