The monarchic title Grand Duke is or was used in some independent nations or states in Europe, particularly:
Grand Duke ranks in order of precedence below Emperor and King, and above that of sovereign Prince and sovereign Duke.
A female reigning monarch bearing the title (or simply the consort of a Grand Duke) is called a Grand Duchess. A nation or state ruled by a sovereign Grand Duke is called a Grand Duchy. The heir apparent to the throne of a Grand Duchy is called a Hereditary Grand Duke. At present, Luxembourg is the only nation with a sovereign Grand Duke as its head of state (since 1815).
Jean (given names: Jean Benoît Guillaume Robert Antoine Louis Marie Adolphe Marc d'Aviano; born 5 January 1921) reigned as Grand Duke of Luxembourg from 1964 until his abdication in 2000. He is the father of the current ruler, Grand Duke Henri, and the son of Grand Duchess Charlotte and Prince Felix of Bourbon-Parma. Among his godparents was Pope Benedict XV, who gave him his second name.
Jean was born on 5 January 1921, at Berg Castle, in central Luxembourg, the son of Grand Duchess Charlotte and of Prince Félix of Bourbon-Parma. He attended primary school in Luxembourg, where he continued the initial stage of secondary education. He completed secondary school at Ampleforth College, a Roman Catholic boarding school in the United Kingdom. Upon reaching maturity, on 5 January 1939, he was styled 'Hereditary Grand Duke', recognising his status as heir apparent.
On 10 May 1940, Germany invaded Luxembourg, beginning a four-year occupation. Having been warned of an imminent invasion, the Grand Ducal Family escaped the previous night. At first, they sought refuge in Paris, before fleeing France only weeks later. The Grand Ducal Family sought refuge in the United States, renting an estate in Brookville, New York. Jean studied Law and Political Science at Université Laval, Quebec City.
Grand may refer to:
A duke (male) (British English: /djuːk/ or American English: /duːk/) or duchess (female) can either be a monarch ruling over a duchy or a member of the nobility, historically of highest rank below the monarch. The title comes from French duc, itself from the Latin dux, 'leader', a term used in republican Rome to refer to a military commander without an official rank (particularly one of Germanic or Celtic origin), and later coming to mean the leading military commander of a province.
During the Middle Ages the title (as Herzog) signified first among the Germanic monarchies. Dukes were the rulers of the provinces and the superiors of the counts in the cities and later, in the feudal monarchies, the highest-ranking peers of the king. A duke may or may not be, ipso facto, a member of the nation's peerage: in the United Kingdom and Spain all dukes are/were also peers of the realm, in France some were and some were not, while the term is not applicable to dukedoms of other nations, even where an institution similar to the peerage (e.g., Grandeeship, Imperial Diet, Hungarian House of Magnates) existed.
The Grand may refer to:

I often dream of better days
And different time (different time)
And I just don’t know a better way
For me to get mine
That’s why I got to shine
The game been good to me
Ain’t nothing gonna stop my grind (nothing gon stop it, no no)
So it ain’t no need to fake on me (ain’t no need)
There are some folks just too far behind in their mind
And it’s a crime crime
But little Terry gonna keep on rolling
I see you trying to get me
Never gonna let them busters get to me
Cos I’m a get there, even if you with me
Always keep my tired eyes open
Like EJ you can’t stick me
I got something for the whole damn world to see
So I’m gonna give it up
You best believe me
Ain’t gonna get me off of my grind
It’s exactly what it seems to be
For all of those times (you know those times)
When you wish for some prosperity
All you could find (all you could find)
Was hate to see them lies
So you tell somebody else
To get it off your mind (wanna get it off your mind)
Well I start hearing melodies (sweetest things, sweetest things)
So I grab my pen and pad and recline
On my grind
And that’s how Terry gonna keep on rolling
I see you trying to get me
Never gonna let them busters get to me
Cos I’m a get there, even if you with me
Always keep my tired eyes open
Like EJ you can’t stick me
I got something for the whole damn world to see
So I’m gonna give it up
You best believe me
Ain’t gonna get me off of my grind
We on the grind y'all

I got something for the whole damn world to see
So I’m gonna give it up
