The Duchess of Adria, officially known as the Duchess-Consort of Adria, is a title that is given to the wife of the Duke of Adria. The title is held by the wife if she is lawfully married to the Duke of Adria and their husband is currently incumbent when they are married to them. Once obtained, the Duchess of Adria holds their title until either divorce, death, or their husband abdicates. A Duchess can also be elected by the Crows Duma, and in that case, would become a co-monarch of the title and hold it past her husband's death or her own abdication. However, this has never occurred.
As of 1902, there have been ten official Duchesses of Adria starting in 1510 under the first Duke of Adria, Franz I, and his wife, Winter. All fulfill the requirement of being married to the Duke and hail from all parts of the continent. Most commonly, all Duchesses share a ravir or imperial lineage with none from commoner families.
There have been some exceptions to this, with many Dukes either never being married to their recorded spouse or simply not holding the title. Joseph I, Duke of Adria, had four bastards from Victoria Valic, never actually marrying the woman. These four children were later legitimized. Franz II was never married nor had any children with Natalia Barbanov because she was already married to the Duke of Courland. Andrew III gave his title back to the Adrian people before marrying his wife, and finally, between the years of 1837-1849, the title of Duke was disputed between Philip Aurelian and Franz Nikolai. Franz was elected by the Duma which is the traditional way of inheriting the Duke of Adria title, but for over 70 years the title of Duke was inherited by primogeniture so Philip Aurelian’s claim was more widely accepted. As of 1849 and Philip’s death, the title has returned to the Crow’s Duma.
