All these GREAT examples remind me of Bugs Bunny in “Rabbit Hood”:
“Arise, Sir Loin of Beef! (Bonk) Arise, Earle of Cloves! (Bonk) Arise, Duke of Brittingham! (Bonk) Arise, Baron of Münchausen! (Bonk) Arise, Essence of Myrrh… (Bonk) Milk of Magnesia… (Bonk) Quarter of Ten…”
There are many stories about the origin of mayonnaise. One says it was invented by the chef working for the Duke de Richeliu in 1756. Supposedly Richard Hellman was the first to bottle and sell it commercially…
The account I read was that the Earl of Sandwich was quite the gambler and spent hours on end at the games of chance. Story has it that after an extremely long card-playing marathon, he was hungry, but didn’t want to leave the table. He supposedly called for someone to fetch some bread and slip some meat in the middle, and the rest is history.

As a recovering historian, I can vouchsafe that a lot of history books get written this way.

The sandwich was around long before the Earl of Sandwich. He just made them popular amongst the upper classes.

It was really the Prince of Mustard and the Duke of Corned Beef who made sandwiches Popular.
