Er.. well.. uhm... maybe "duke" is a nickname? Or maybe he was really a duke
from Europe, who was called "Mad Duke" because he rebuilt an ancient house
in Duckburg?
And maybe "Duckburg" is also a duchy in Europe?

Actually, I don't know the English text of the story (House of Haunts), so I
don't know which details my explanation should cover... 8-)
