==Gassavelia and Ænglasmarch==
The [[Dragonnades]] created large tracts of unowned land within [[Gassavelia]] and [[Ænglasmarch]] towards the end of the 16th century. The Leonine Land Decree divided much of this land into 40 acre parcels to be divided among any family in the [[Urceopolis (Archduchy)|Archduchy of Urceopolis]] of [[Social class in Urcea|privilegiata or freeman rank]] who was a baptized [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] without considerable land holdings. This first wave of Ómestaderoi had immediate impact, transforming most of the rural portions of both Gassavelia and Ænglasmarch to be majority [[Urcean people|Urcean]] by 1700. The {{wp|Indsutrial Revolution}} drew many Ómestaderoi to the cities, where many adopted the traditions of [[Gassavelian people]] and [[Ænglish people]] while also playing a key role in integrating those peoples into the overall [[Urcean people]]. 20th century retrospectives have called this first wave of Ómestaderoi a "failure", though recent scholarship has indicated ultimately mixed results, with a failure to establish a permanent [[Urcean people|Urcean]] rural population, but the role of these people in integrating the "conquered" societies cannot be understated.

This first wave of Ómestaderoi had immediate impact, transforming most of the rural portions of both Gassavelia and Ænglasmarch to be plurality [[Urcean people|Urcean]] by 1700. In Gassavelia, the role and legacy of this first wave was decidedly negative, with what little agricultural land existing in Gassavelia largely going to the new arrivals, deepening the economic decline and deprivation that arose in Gassavelia after the [[Great Confessional War]].
