In 1806 Napoleon conferred the title of Duc d'Elchingen on Marshal Ney and the name of Elchingen was engraved on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
Both were victory titles; Ney was created duc d'Elchingen in 1808, after the Battle of Elchingen, and prince de la Moskowa ("prince of the Moskva") in 1812, after the Battle of Borodino outside Moscow.
