Duke Of Elchingen

Clauses in the titles' patents of creation caused the title of prince de La Moskowa to pass to Ney's eldest son, Joseph, and that of duc d'Elchingen to pass to his second son, Michel. This ensured that the two titles would never be held by the same person if there was another heir living, a similar situation to the British titles of Duke Of Hamilton and Earl Of Selkirk .

The two titles were reunited in 1928 and both became extinct with the death of the last heir in 1969 .
