The titles of Duke of Elchingen (French: "Duc d'Elchingen") and Prince of the Moskva ("Prince de la Moskowa") were created by Napoleon, Emperor of the French, for the Marshal of the Empire Michel Ney. Both were victory titles; Ney was created Duke of Elchingen in 1808, after the Battle of Elchingen, and Prince of the Moskva after the Battle of Borodino near a branch of the Moskva River, 125 km outside Moscow (named "Bataille de la Moskova" in French, in reference to the river). In 1814, Ney became a peer of France. On his execution in 1815, the peerage was revoked, but it was restored in 1831.
