context_page_description: The Duchy of Merania 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" probably comes from the Slavic word for sea, morje, and refers to its location on the Adriatic.
