	Prince William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Prince William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland (April 15, 1721–October 31, 1765), a younger son of King George II of Great Britain and Queen Caroline, was a noted military leader.
		Cumberland himself was in the midst of the column which penetrated the French centre, and his conduct of the inevitable retreat was unusually cool and skilful.
		Cumberland told his troops to take notice that the Jacobite enemy's orders were to give no quarter to the "troops of the elector", and they took the hint to reciprocate; there is no evidence of any such orders.

	Duke of Cumberland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Duke of Cumberland is a peerage title that was conferred upon junior members of the British royal family, named after Cumberland.
		The last creation (the form being "Duke of Cumberland and Teviotdale") was for Ernest Augustus (later King of Hanover), fifth son of King George III of the United Kingdom.
