In older European history, a palatinate was a piece of land ruled not by the king in person, but by a special lord who stood in for him (a count palatine). Inside that land the lord could make laws and raise soldiers almost as if he were the king, though he still represented the ruler. You will meet this word in history books, not in daily talk. The most famous example in English is the Palatinate along the , in what is now Germany. There is also an adjective palatinate, of a palatine, but students almost always meet the noun: the territory itself.
巴拉丁領地(舊時由君王代表統治的地區;德國史上的「普法爾茨」最常被提起)
