		In 1919, King George V issued an Order-in-Council suspending the Dukedom of Albany (together with its subsidiary peerages, the Earldom of Clarence and the Barony of Arklow), the Dukedom of Cumberland and Teviotdale (along with the Earldom of Armagh) and the Viscountcy of Taaffe (along with the Barony of Ballymote).

	Encyclopedia: Duchy of Cornwall
		Cornwall itself in this framework is described as a Duchy (as opposed to an ordinary county), and the Duchy estates are distinguished from the Duchy itself, having themselves been annexed and united to "the aforesaid Duchy".
		It should be noted, however, that the administrative machinery of Cornwall almost invariably refers to itself as a county (including, for example, Cornwall County Council itself) in the English language, although it can be argued that the administrative county and Duchy in this sense are separate, co-existing entities.
		Both the Duchy of Cornwall and its counterpart, the Duchy of Lancashire, have special statutory rights not available to other estates held by peers: for example, the rules on Bona Vacantia operate in favour of the holder of the Duchy (as opposed to the Crown generally), and there are separate Attorneys General for the estates.

	Duke of Cornwall: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com - All about Duke of Cornwall
		The first dukedom created in the peerage of England was that of Cornwall, created for Edward, the Black Prince, son and heir apparent of King Edward III.
		The dukedom is the last in the United Kingdom still associated with an actual duchy, the income of which goes to the Duke (or to the monarch when the dukedom is vacant).
		If no one meets these qualifications, the dukedom has either merged with the Crown[?] (its holder has become monarch and has no eldest son who is heir apparent) or lapsed to the Crown[?] (its holder has died and there is no living eldest son of the monarch who is heir apparent).

	Paul James column
		Despite the existence of the 1337 charter which conferred the dukedom on the king's eldest son forever, it was felt necessary to re-create the dukedom for Henry IV's son (the future Henry V) in 1399, and for Edward IV's son (the future Edward V), in 1471.
		No royal dukedoms at all were created during the sixteenth century (although the dukedom of Cornwall was inherited twice, by the future Henry VIII and future Edward VI), which reflects the lack of sons in the Tudor dynasty.
		This dukedom became extinct on the death of his son, and was re-created for a son of James II in 1458, again becoming extinct on the death of the second holder.
