Document Summary
The este lands of ferrara, reggio, and modena were territories ruled by rich duchy of. In the 16th century it united much of the territory into a dynastic principality. Republican virtues were constitutional and temperamental but also supported by geography: church states during the renaissance fluctuated dramatically, rome was an important, intellectual, banking, ecclesiastical, cultural city and depended on the holy see. There are rarely any occupations outside of serving the needs of cardinals, and other high ecclesiastical orders. There was millions of pilgrims and office seekers who came to the center of latin. Rome declined horribly during the so-called babylonian captivity when the papacy decided to reside in avignon which neglected rome as a result. Then during the great schism there were two and then three popes later on which divided christendom: the kingdom of naples controlled the area south of rome.
