Prince of Liang (Yunnan and Guizhou, Post-Yuan Dynasty)
During the Yuan Dynasty, the title of Prince of Liang was granted to one of the sons of Kublai Khan as a hereditary title passed down from father to son. The Prince of Liang was also the Viceroy of Yunnan. By far the most famous holder of this title would be Basalawarmi, who in the 14th century, following the fall of the Yuan Dynasty throughout most of China, continued to fight against Ming Dynasty forces in Yunnan and Guizhou.
