Duke of Lorraine

Lorraine is a region in northeastern France.

The history of the Dukes of Lorraine dates back to the medieval period. The region was part of the Carolingian Empire and later the Holy Roman Empire. The rulers of Lorraine were often vassals of the Holy Roman Emperor.

In the course of the Roman War, as depicted in the Alliterative Morte Arthure and Malory, King Arthur’s troops traversed the region of Lorraine en route to Rome. They engaged in a conflict with the forces of the Duke of Lorraine, who had refused to acknowledge Arthur’s authority. Subsequently Arthur incarcerated the duke in Dover and designated Priamus of Tuscany to govern the contested territory.
