A Despotate is a State ruled under a Despot/Despoina (in this context it should not be confused with Despotism). The title of Despot was created by Manuel I Comnenus in the 12th century as the highest title after the Byzantine Emperor. Historical Despotates include The Despotate of Epirus and The Despotate of Morea.
