Hereditary Title:
He was, on 1 May 1414, created in Parliament Earl of Cambridge. On this creation Courthope remarked: "For this creation there is neither Charter nor Patent, but only investiture in Parliament; it was the opinion of Lords Lyndhurst and St. Leonards, as expressed in their argument on the Wensleydale Peerage, that such investiture 'vested in him a transmissible inheritance to his legal heirs.'" The title was formerly held by his elder brother, Edward, 2nd Duke of York, who had earlier ceased to be Earl of Cambridge either by resignation or deprivation of title.

It did, however, result in Richard's offspring's being the heirs general of Edward III.
