The Duke of Adrianople was a dukedom in the Peerage of Latium. The title refers to a collection of dukes, and kings that reigned over Adrianople and parts of western Latium as independent rulers from 1059 until 1428 when the kingdom was reintegrated into the united Latin Empire. The Kingdom of Adrianople is a historiographical term created after the existence of the realm to differentiate it from what is recognized as the Latin Empire. Throughout the entire 285 year existence of the realm, the Claudii rulers of Adrianople claimed to be the rightful Latin Emperors, due to the first king's status as the youngest son of Empress Maria Augusta and Michael V.
At its largest territorial extent, the rulers of Adrianople controlled much of western and southwestern Latium, including Iasonia, Utica, Aarhusium and Rutupiae. The Monarchs of Adrianople even controlled most of the territory composing the modern-day border region with Lyncanestria, including the counties of Gelonia and Olybrium, from 1059 until 1149. The early dominance of Adrianople over Latium is often attributed the reinforcement levies from western Latium proper never reaching Audonia.
The sovereignty of Adrianople's monarchs came to an end on 28 November 1489, when Michael I (Michael VI as Latin pretender) was defeated in battle outside of the modern-day city of Colonia Julia. Michael sued for peace, relinquished his claims on the Latin throne, and submitted to Emperor Theodorus I. While Michael still held control over a sizable amount of territory, he was enabled to retain his non-imperial titles and swore fealty to Theodorus I as the 13th Duke of Adrianople.

Sovereigns of Adrianople
Throughout the course of the Sovereignty of Adrianople, the Claudii rulers continued to proclaim their status as the lawful Latin emperors in an unbroken line from Emperor Philip I in 372. When receiving, or entertaining, dignitaries or other nobles, the Claudii rulers of Adrianople kept with the long old tradition of addressing the ruler as "Caesar" with the chief among his titles being "Latin Emperor" The Claudii rulers of Adrianople claimed the following Imperial titles:
- the Most Pious and Blessed, Serene and Noble, Unconquered and Universal, Latin Emperor, Apostolic King of Castellum, and Alba, Father of the Fatherland, First Citizen of Senate, He Who Commands the Tides of Our Sea, Ruler faithful in Christ, and Sword of Christ
In addition the Emperor in Adrianople was also the Duke of Adrianople, which is the official reference for the Adrianople rulers among Latin Imperial records of the era.
