Definition
Plural of duchy; multiple territories or domains ruled by dukes or the wives of dukes.
Etymology
From Middle English 'duchie,' derived from Old French 'duché,' from 'duc' (duke), with standard English plural formation.
Kelly Says
Medieval Europe was a patchwork of duchies—some smaller than a modern county but each claiming to be sovereign, creating the complex political mess that led to centuries of border disputes!
