Margraviate

Margrave is the title for the military commander assigned to maintain the defence of one of the border provinces of an Empire. A margrave functions as the military governor of a march, a border province. Because the territorial integrity of the borders of the realm of an emperor is essential, the vassal (whether a count or other lord) whose lands are on the march of the empire is likely to be appointed a margrave and given greater responsibility for securing the border.
