Duchy of Milan

The Duchy of Milan was a state in northern Italy from 1395 to 1797. Although it was technically subject to the Holy Roman Empire, the Duchy was de facto independent. Although the Duchy's territory varied over the centuries, it generally covered much of Lombardy, including both Milan and Pavia, the traditional centers of the old Kingdom of Italy. Parma was also a part of the Duchy until it was split off into its own Duchy in the 16th century.
