Principality of Achaea

Coat of arms of the Villehardouin Princes of Achaea (first ruling dynasty)
Coat of arms of the Zaccaria family (last ruling dynasty)
The Latin Empire with its vassals and the Greek successor states after the partition of the Byzantine Empire, c. 1204. The borders are very uncertain.
* The principality was a client state of, in order, the Kingdom of Thessalonica, then the Latin Emperors at Constantinople, the Angevins of the Kingdom of Naples, until the purchase of 1404 by Centurione II Zaccaria.
The Principality of Achaea (/əˈkiːə/) or Principality of Morea was one of the vassal states of the Latin Empire, which replaced the Byzantine Empire after the capture of Constantinople during the Fourth Crusade.[1] It became a vassal of the Kingdom of Thessalonica, along with the Duchy of Athens, until Thessalonica was captured by Theodore, the despot of Epirus, in 1224. After this, Achaea became the dominant power in Greece, lasting continuously for 227 years and cumulatively for 229.
