Naples, Duchy of

The Duchy of Naples (Latin: Ducatus Neapolitanus, Italian: Ducato di Napoli) begins as a Byzantine province that is constituted in the seventh century, in the reduced coastal lands that the Lombards had not conquered during their invasion of Italy in the sixth century.

It is governed by a military commander (dux), and rapidly becomes a de facto independent state, lasting more than five centuries during the Early and High Middle Ages.
