Principality of Aquitaine
The Principality of Aquitaine was the territory in south-western France that Edward III of England granted to his son Edward the Black Prince in 1362, after the Treaty of Brétigny had freed the English lands there from French overlordship. Governed from Bordeaux and Angoulême, it covered Gascony, Poitou, Saintonge, the Limousin and other regions. Revolts against the prince's hearth tax and the French reconquest ended it in 1372.
