El '''Principado de Acaya''', también llamado '''Principado de [[Morea]]''', fue uno de los tres estados [[vasallo]]s del [[Imperio Latino]] que reemplazaron al [[Imperio bizantino]] luego de ocurrida la conquista de [[Constantinopla]] durante la [[Cuarta Cruzada]]. Se convirtió en vasallo del [[reino de Tesalónica]], junto con el [[Ducado de Atenas]], hasta que [[Tesalónica]] fue capturada por Teodoro, el [[Despotado de Epiro|déspota de Epiro]], en 1224. Luego de esto, Acaya se convirtió durante algún tiempo en un polo de poder de [[Grecia]], y a mediados del siglo XIII la corte de [[Andravida]] era considerada el mejor exponente de la [[caballería]] por los europeos occidentales.

House of Anjou
Charles II deprived Isabella of the principality, though she never recognised this, in 1306 and bestowed it on his own son Philip I of Taranto. Philip I of Piedmont gave up his claim in 1307, though both his son James of Piedmont and grandson Amadeus of Piedmont kept the title and the latter was even recognised as prince by the Achaean baronage, though he never succeeded in coming to Greece to take back the fief.

The principality was disputed after the death of Isabella in 1312. In 1313, Philip I of Taranto gave Achaea as a fief to her daughter Matilda of Hainaut.
