  The duchy of Lorraine was the rump of the early medieval duchy ofUpper Lotharingia, centred on Nancy. The difficulty is pinpointingthe date when "Lotharingia" transformed into "Lorraine". Thisdocument sets out the family of the dukes from the accession of theMatfriede dynasty in the mid-11th century. However, as can be seenbelow, contemporary sources continue to refer to the duke as "duxLotharingiæ" until well into the 14th century. The duchy remainedwithin imperial territory, the dukes being suzerains of theemperor/king of Germany. However, Lorraine gradually lost status andterritory, especially after the rise of the comtes de Bar to the westof the duchy. Lorraine was even briefly placed under the suzeraintyof Bar during the early years of the 13th century[1]. Duke Thibaut Ibecame embroiled in the dispute over the succession to the county ofChampagne in between 1216 and 1218, when Friedrich II King of Germanyinvaded Lorraine and took the duke back to Germany as a prisoner. The gradual assimilation of Lorraine into the French sphere ofinfluence started with the reign of Duke Raoul, who succeeded in 1329and spent most of his reign at the court of Philippe VI King ofFrance. A significant increase in the number of marriages into Frenchcomital families can also be observed from the end of the 13thcentury. However, formal French acquisition of Lorraine territory didnot accelerate until the mid-17th century, and the duchy was onlyfinally annexed by the kingdom of France in 1766 after the death ofStanislas Leszczinski Duke of Lorraine, who was the father-in-law ofKing Louis XV.
