Kingdom of Italy, Lucca, Henry III - V of Franconia, 1039 - 1125 A.D.
|Italy|, |Kingdom| |of| |Italy,| |Lucca,| |Henry| |III| |-| |V| |of| |Franconia,| |1039| |-| |1125| |A.D.|, The Republic of Lucca, which lasted from 1160 to 1805, was a medieval and early modern state that was centered on the city of Lucca in Tuscany. Its territory extended include the north-western part of today's Tuscany, to the borders with Emilia-Romagna and Liguria. Autonomy was granted by a 1084 diploma issued by Emperor Henry IV, while on his Italian campaign during the Investiture Controversy with Pope Gregory VII. After the death of Margravine Matilda of Tuscany in 1115, the city began to constitute itself an independent commune. The administration was officially acknowledged by Margrave Conrad in 1120 and by Emperor Frederick in 1162. The city bought the feudal rights from Margrave Welf VI in 1160, hence became subject only to the emperors. The Republic of Lucca remained independent until 1799, when it became subject to Napoleonic Franc. In 1805 it was made the Principality of Lucca and Piombino.
