Hamilton, 2nd See also:marquess of Hamilton (d. 1625), created him earl of Cambridge, a title which came to his son and successor James, 3rd marquess and first duke of Hamilton (d. 1649). In 1651 when William, 2nd duke of Hamilton, died, his English title became extinct.
Again bestowed upon a member of the royal See also:house, the title of earl of Cambridge was granted in 1659 by See also:Charles II. to his brother Henry, duke of See also:Gloucester, only to become extinct on Henry's death in the following year.
