While most of the small polities were destroyed in the 12th century, a number of them obtained status as autonomous {{wp|free city|free cities}}, and briefly reemerged during the [[Saint's War]] only to be suppressed by the war's end. During the free city period, the patrician families of the cities largely remained in tact, but their rebellion during the Saint's War lead to most of the families' holdings being destroyed and the historic autonomy of the cities brought to an end. The largest of the republics, the [[Philaridon Republic]], would continue its turbulent existence until [[1680]]. Today, the territory of the republics largely coincides with the western [[Archduchy of Urceopolis]] with the exception of the territory of the Philaridon Republic, which is largely coterminous with the modern province of [[Roscampus]]. Many of the former republics now comprise some of the Archduchy's largest cities, such as Ordep and Beldra. | While most of the small polities were destroyed in the 12th century, a number of them obtained status as autonomous {{wp|free city|free cities}}, and briefly reemerged during the [[Saint's War]] only to be suppressed by the war's end.
