Prince – Principality of
Galilee
The Principality of Galilee was vassal of the crusader
Kingdom of Jerusalem. The direct holdings of the principality were around
Tiberias, in Galilee proper, but with all its vassals, the lordship covered all
Galilee (now Israel) and southern Phoenicia (today Lebanon). The Principality
was destroyed by Saladin in 1187.

The title of Prince of Galilee was used by sons of the kings of Cyprus. There
are several pretenders to the title but the one with best right is Emanuele
Filiberto of Savoy, Prince of Venice.
