Landgrave of Hesse-Darmstadt

The Landgrave of Hesse-Darmstadt was a noble title for the ruler of a region in what is now Germany, known as Hesse-Darmstadt, during the early modern period. As a landgrave, he held both political authority and territorial sovereignty, overseeing governance, justice, and military matters within his land. The title was part of the Holy Roman Empire's hierarchy and signified a high rank of regional nobility. Over time, the title evolved, and the territory eventually merged into larger German states, but historically, the Landgrave was an important regional ruler with significant influence in Central Europe.
