The Principality of Northscaldia (Medieval Latin: Principatum Northscaldia, Old Menapian: Tyernauïth aech Northscaldia) or Northscaldia, was a principality on the coasts of northwestern Europe that existed in the Frankish Empire and then West Francia for over four hundred years. It was one of the only Celtic-based entities in Europe after the beginning of the Early Middle Ages.
