During the (Grand) Principality of Transylvania (1711–1867), the title of "Prince(ss) of Transylvania" (since 2 November 1765 "Grand Prince(ss)") was connected to the Habsburg kings and queens of Hungary (see List of Hungarian monarchs § House of Habsburg (1526–1780) and List of Hungarian monarchs § House of Habsburg-Lorraine (1780–1918)) until 1804, when it was added to the Grand title of the emperor of Austria. In practice, administration was performed by the Governor of Transylvania, a viceroy appointed by the Habsburg monarchs between 1691 and 1867.
