=== Privilegiata ===

The legal privileges and obligations of the privilegiata were not changed in the 16th century reforms, but by the time of the late 1500s, the privilegiata were now almost entirely an urban class and proto-bourgeoisie rather than only partly city-based. The demographic changes in the rural parts of [[Urcea]] during the last few centuries lead to a large supply of freemen and former serfs, making employing privilegiata completely nonviable except for only the most skilled possessions. Privilegiata flooded into the cities looking for work, where they were welcomed by their fellow privilegiata governing the law practices, the guilds, and the Church. This movement began substantial growth in Urcea's urban population by the middle of the 16th century. The privilegiata's migration to the city stemmed not only from economic concerns, but cities were more likely to accept privilegiata refugees than freemen, and a great deal of refugees were created as a result of the frequent sight of armies during the [[Great Confessional War]]. This class grew rapidly during the Early Modern Period, but their number was still largely dwarfed by the ranks of the freemen. Due to the legal structure of major corporations which were established during the industrial revolution, many of the richest people in Urcea during the [[Aedanicad]] were nonetheless ineligible to be considered optimates.

Privilegiata were the leading forces behind the gradual development of the [[Constitution of Urcea]] and were the leading forces behind [[Crown Liberalism]], and following the reforms after the [[Second Caroline War]], they gained the ability to serve as full generals in the [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal Army]], which became an attractive route for privilegiata to pursue. During the [[Aedanicad]], a huge number of privilegiata joined the officer corps, becoming a political force during the 1860s. Becoming radically anti-optimate, the privilegiata supported the efforts of [[Gréagóir FitzRex]], himself a privilegiata, in establishing his Regency dictatorship.
