Principality

A principality (or sometimes princedom) is a type of monarchical state or feudal territory ruled by a prince. Examples of principalities include the Principality of Monaco, the Grand Principality of Moscow, the Principality of Catalonia, and the Principality of Wales. The Principality of Antioch is another example of a principality, yet one created during the First Crusade which included parts of Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) and Syria. The principality was much smaller than the County of Edessa or the Kingdom of Jerusalem.
