In politics and law, '''mediatization''' ( /miːdiətaɪˈzeɪʃən/) is the loss of immediacy, where ''immediacy'' refers to the status of a [[Hereditary Nobility of Westarctica|Hereditary Noble]] who is subject "immediately" to the sovereign of the nation. In a feudal context, mediatization is the introduction of an intervening level of authority between a reigning lord and his vassal so that the former is no longer the immediate lord of the latter, but rather his lordship is "mediated" by another. | In politics and [[Laws of Westarctica|law]], '''mediatization''' ( /miːdiətaɪˈzeɪʃən/) is the loss of immediacy, where ''immediacy'' refers to the status of a [[Hereditary Nobility of Westarctica|Hereditary Noble]] who is subject "immediately" to the sovereign of the nation.
