Duke Of Merania
The Duchy of Merania, it, Ducato di Merania, sl, Vojvodina Meranija, hr, Vojvodina Meranije was a fiefdom of the Holy Roman Empire from 1152 until 1248. The dukes of Merania were recognised as princes of the Empire enjoying imperial immediacy at a time when these concepts were just coming into use to distinguish the highest ranks of imperial nobility. The name "Merania" ("sea-land") comes from either the High German word for sea, ''meer'' or the Slavic word for the same, ''morje'' (both cognate with Latin ''mare''). The name literally means "land by the sea" (''am Meer''), referring to its location on the Adriatic. Territory The exact territorial extent of Merania is unknown. It probably included the town of Fiume (Rijeka) and the coast of the Kvarner Gulf, either on the Istrian peninsula or across from it. The author of the ''Historia de expeditione Friderici imperatoris'', an account of Barbarossa's crusade of 1190, writing around 1200, refers to "the Duke of Dalmatia, a ...

The counts of Dießen-Andechs (1100 to 1180) obtained territories in northern Dalmatia on the Adriatic seacoast, where they became Margraves of Istria and ultimately dukes of a short-lived imperial state named Merania from 1180 to 1248.
