Originally a county, it was elevated to a marquessate under Count Aleramo in 961, following the transition of power in Northern Italy from Berengar of Ivrea to Otto I of Germany.

With the War of the Mantuan Succession (1628-1631) a piece of the duchy passed to the Duchy of Savoy, the remainder passing to Savoy in 1708, as Leopold I, Holy Roman Emperor gained possession of the Gonzaga territory.

Logically, then, in 1397, at least some titles had a land connection (not in the sense of family property, of course, but as in having a feudal style responsibility to manage, govern, administer, rent out, use, abuse, whatever).
According to my research, there is no Earl, Marquess, or Duke of Leicestershire between 1361 and 1563, but clearly the area was populated, and thus I assume someone had some administrative authority over them.
In early senses, the Marquess would have essentially been an Earl who was more important because he ruled a borderland and was a first line of defense, but at some point, that distinction clearly becomes obselete.
