the position or responsibilities of a principal (as of a school)
the territory or jurisdiction of a prince : the country that gives title to a prince.
Jesus had issues with people in power--King Herod, Pontius Pilate, and Rabbis in general. To me, it seems like he is advocating fighting against the spiritually wicked, ruling elite--who are not of flesh and blood (inhuman).
Those rulers are at the very least in contact with and getting controlled by demons. Are some of them completely non-human entities pretending to be human? I don't know. Either way it's demonic in nature.
