Duke of Brandenburg

The Duke of Brandenburg (known as Duchess of Brandenburg if held by a woman) is a Shirerithian noble title that Kaiser Ayreon IV, in 1670 through Imperial Decree 1193, created for Arkadius IV of Batavia (later known as Mahmud bin Alsalam after his departure from Benacia and conversion to Craitism).

The main text of the decree stated: We bestow upon His Majesty Arkadius Frederik Gustavus des Vinandy, the King of the Batavians, the title, degree and dignity of Duke of Brandenburg, of Brandenburg Manor in the Domain of Oleslääd. Upon his death or removal from the title, it shall pass to his legitimate issue, with preference to the elder and their descendants over the younger and their descendants, until the line is extinguished.

At the outbreak of the Second Amokolian War in 1678, in which the Duke of Brandenburg waged war against the Kaiseress, the title was suppressed under Shirerithian law. As such, Arkadius IV was not, under Shirerithian law, allowed to use the title. He continued to do so nevertheless under Frankish law until his renunciation of his Benacian titles in 1685. This renunciation was not recognized by Shireroth. Arkadius IV, then known as Mahmud bin Alsalam, died in 1703. His fourth child, and eldest legitimate child, Hakim bin Alsalam, became the pretender to the title.

In 1711, the title rehabilitated in Shirerithian law following the Treaty of Raynor's Keep, restoring the descendants of Mahmud to the nobility of Shireroth.
