The Duchy of Urbino is a former soverign state of northern Italy.
The first lords of Urbino were the Montefeltro, who obtained the title of counts by Emperor Frederick II in 1213. The first Duke was Oddantonio, who received the title by Pope Eugene IV in 1443. The duchy's territories occupied grossly the northern part of the modern region of Marche: they were bordered by the the Adriatic Sea at east, the Republic of Florence at west and by the Papal States southwards. Frederick II (December 26, 1194 – December 13, 1250), Holy Roman Emperor of the Hohenstaufen dynasty, was pretender to the title of King of the Romans from 1212, unopposed holder of that monarchy from 1215, and Holy Roman Emperor from 1220 until his death in 1250. ...
