Royal Prussia ((ポーランド語:Prusy Królewskie); (ドイツ語:Königlich-Preußen) or ''Preußen Königlichen Anteils'') or Polish Prussia〔Anton Friedrich Büsching, Patrick Murdoch, A new system of geography, London 1762, p. 588 (Google Books )〕 (Polish: ''Prusy Polskie''; German: ''Polnisch-Preußen''〔 ''Polnisch-Preußen'' – ''State Constitution of Polish-Prussia'' (see: (Excerpt ) in the publication of 1764, p. 581)〕) was a province of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth that was carved out of the State of the Teutonic Order. It consisted of the following districts: Pomerelia (Gdańsk Pomerania) with Danzig (Gdańsk), Chełmno Land ('Kulmerland) with Michałów Land (Michelauer land) and Toruń (Thorn), the mouth of the Vistula with Elbląg (Elbing) and Malbork (Marienburg), the Bishopric of Warmia (Ermland) with Olsztyn (Allenstein ). By the Second Peace of Thorn (1466), these districts were ceded to the Kingdom of Poland.〔Daniel Stone, ''A History of East Central Europe'', University of Washington Press, 2001, p. 30, ISBN 0-295-98093-1 (Google Books )〕 Until the 1569 Union of Lublin the region enjoyed a substantial autonomy. After 1569, Royal Prussia was directly administered by the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Administratively Royal Prussia was part of the Greater Poland Province together with Greater Poland proper, Masovia, and Łęczyca Voivodeship and Sieradz Voivodeship, with the Province capital being Poznań.〔Anton Friedrich Büsching, Patrick Murdoch, A new system of geography, London 1762, p. 588 (Google Books )〕 ==Geography== From the 14th century, in old texts (until the 16th or 17th century) and in Latin, the terms ''Prut(h)enia'' and Prut(h)enic refer not only to the original settlement area of the extinct Old Prussians (''Prusowie'', see: Prussia) along the Baltic Coast east of the Vistula River, but also to the adjacent lands of the former Samboride dukes of Pomerelia, which the Teutonic Knights had acquired from Poland in the 1343 Treaty of Kalisz and added to their Order's State. Polish Prussia established in 1466 included these western parts of Teutonic Prussia, i.e. the Pomerelian lands with the port of Danzig (Gdańsk Pomerania), as well as Chełmno Land (Kulmerland) with Michelauer land (Michałowo Land) and Toruń in the south, but also the area around Marienburg and Elbing and the episcopal lands of Warmia. The former Pomerelian Lauenburg and Bütow Land in the far west was held by the Pomeranian dukes as a Polish fief. Royal Prussia is distinguished from later Ducal Prussia, the remaining parts of Prussia around Königsberg (Królewiec), which was a fiefdom under Polish suzerainty, first held by the Teutonic Knights, from 1525 by secular dukes of the Hohenzollern dynasty. From 1618 this part was held in personal union by the Electors of Brandenburg (Brandenburg-Prussia) and in 1657 reached full sovereignty from the Polish Crown according to the Treaty of Wehlau. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Royal Prussia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
