The Estonian Monarchy
The first duke of Estonia was appointed in 1220 by King Valdemar II of Denmark after the Danish conquest of Estonia during the Livonian crusade. The dukes of Estonia rarely resided in Estonia. To govern the Duchy of Estonia, the king of Denmark and royal counsellors appointed the Lieutenant who resided in Reval. After the Livonian War, Estonia became part of the Swedish Empire, and the title was gained by kings of Sweden. The last Swedish Duke of Estonia was King Fredrik I av Hessen. The title was resumed by the Russian tsars after the Great Northern War and Treaty of Nystad when Estonia became part of the Russian Empire. The last duke of Estonia was Tsar Nichlas II.
