Landgraviate

• "Landgrave (Landgraf): Landgrave", an accessory feudal comital title style, a Landgraf, or Landgrave, was a nobleman of rank or count in medieval Germany whose jurisdiction stretched over a sometimes quite considerable territory. The Title survived from the times of the Holy Roman Empire. The power of a landgrave was often associated with Sovereign rights and decision making much greater than that of a count. The formal jurisdiction of a Landgrave was a Landgraviate and the wife of a Landgrave was a Landgravine. The Title was used for the heads of different lines namely the House of Hesse and was also held by the Princes zu Furstenberg." [1]
