Landgraviate

The title of Landgrave refers to a count who has imperial immediacy, or feudal duty owed directly to the Emperor. His jurisdiction stretches over a sometimes quite considerable territory, which is not subservient to an intermediate power, such as a Duke. By definition, a landgrave exercises sovereign rights. His decision-making power is comparable to that of a Duke. The titles of Landgrave, [URL=/help/org?type=margrav]Margrave[/URL], and [URL=/help/org?type=cpalat]Count palatine[/URL] are in the same class of ranks as [URL=/help/org?type=duchy]Duke[/URL] and above the rank of a [URL=/help/org?type=county]Count[/URL].
