The Principality of Leiningen (German: Fürstentum Leiningen) was a short-lived principality ruled by the Prince of Leiningen.[1] It was created in 1803 as part of compensation for the House of Leiningen losing land to France but was mediatized three years later to become part of the Grand Duchy of Baden.[2]
