The  '''Duchy of Martilles''', contemporarily often just called Martilles, was a powerful state in the [[Kingdom of Dericania]] from [[1575]]-[[1869]]. It was formed in 1575 as a Catholic duchy formed from the remnants of displaced Protestants following the [[Great Confessional War]] and the [[Dragonnades]]. By the 1650s, the duchy established itself as a prominent economic powerhouse, fostering a flourishing trade network that spanned continents and contributed to its affluent status. The wealth generated from its [[Burgoignesc colonial empire|colonial endeavors]] served as a catalyst for the cultivation of a vibrant artistic and cultural scene, attracting notable luminaries and intellectuals from across [[Levantia]] and beyond. From the flourishing of the arts and the patronage of renowned artists and intellectuals to the establishment of cutting-edge scientific institutions and the promotion of cultural exchange, the Duchy of Martilles played a pivotal role in shaping the trajectory of early modern thought and creativity.
However, the Duchy of Martilles' long-standing independence was ultimately brought to an end with the unification of [[Burgundie]] in [[1869]] during the [[First Fratricide]]. Despite its eventual incorporation into a larger political entity, the cultural and intellectual legacy of Martilles remains a strong part if its unique identity within the broader [[Culture of Burgundie]].
