The Sovereign Barony of Caux is a small nation-state whose restitution occurred in 2001 on the basis of an ancient hereditary barony. Its re-establishment occurred in 2015. It claims territory in Shropshire, UK, and in the Pays de Caux in Normandy, France, but is based in North America.[1]
The Barony claims to be "The World's Oldest Continuous Feudal State."[2]
