Hello,


I am not certain if a princely house means a royal family or an aristocratic family in general. Can anybody help me?


I examined the sword and the stiletto. Silver-gilt; blades of exquisite fineness; the cipher of a princely house of France shone in tiny diamonds upon the pommels.


Aleister Crowley, The Dream Circean, 1910

Thanks a lot.
 
Yes, it means a royal or aristocratic family.
