Kingdom of Sardinia

The Kingdom of Sardinia was a state centred on the island of Sardinia for more than five centuries. It was often combined with extensive territories elsewhere, such as Corsica or Savoy, but Sardinia was always its namesake. Prior to the firm establishment of a Sardinian monarchy, the island was divided between four giudicati ruled by iudices (judges who sometimes styled themselves reges (kings).
