The '''Palatinate''' ([[Standard German]]: ''Pffalz''), specifically the '''Rhenish Palatinate''' (''Rheinische Pffalzgrafschaft'') or the '''Lower Palatinate''' (''Niederpffalz''), was a German monarchy located in the southwest of modern [[Rhineland]]. The territory was known by various names throughout history; the '''Electorate of the Palatinate''' (''Kurfürstentum Pffalz'') until the mid-19th century, the '''Nassuvian Palatinate''' (''Nassauische Pffalz'') from 1690, and finally the '''Grand State of the Palatinate''' (''Großstaat der Pffalz'') between 1875 and 1926.
