By the dawn of the 17th century, the temporal authority of the Pope had waned significantly. The portions of Urceopolis south of the Esquiline were largely, but not entirely, part of his domain. A small number of scattered manors and a handful of monasteries throughout Urcea still retained direct Papal oversight. In some parts of [[Harren]], two cities in [[Canaery]], and four counties in central [[Archduchy of Urceopolis|Archduchy]], cities owed a small portion of their overall tax and manpower to the Pope; these Papal fiefs were part of the overall complex of overlapping jurisdictions that characterized pre-[[Administrative Reorganization Act of 1892|Reorganization Act]] Urcea. In Urceopolis itself, the borders of the Papal territory were extremely unclear especially in the wake of the [[Great Confessional War]], where some (but not all) legal acts of the Ronanid Urcean Kings remained in force. Throughout the 1600s and 1700s, legal disputes between the Papacy and Crown were common in Urcean courts as the Royal and city government gave approval for encroachment into the [[Urceopolis_(City)#Petersbaile|Petersbaile]] and [[Urceopolis_(City)#Popeswood|Popeswood]] areas of Urceopolis. | |||
