Seniorate Province, also known as the Senioral Province,[a] was a district principality in the Duchy of Poland that was formed in 1138, following the fragmentation of the state.[1] Its ruler held the title of the High Duke, ruling all duchies within Poland. In 1227, following the abolition of the High Duke title, the province was transformed into the Duchy of Kraków.
