Duke of Aquitaine

The Duke of Aquitaine was a noble title referring to the ruler of the Duchy of Aquitaine, a large region in southwestern France. Historically, it was a prominent and wealthy territory, especially during the medieval period. The title was held by powerful individuals, notably Eleanor of Aquitaine, who was a significant political figure and influential in European history. Over time, Aquitaine's strategic importance and its rulers' alliances impacted broader European politics, including the relationship between France and England. Today, the title symbolizes historical regional authority, though it no longer signifies political power.
