    Papal States

    Territories mostly in the Appenine Peninsula under the sovereign direct rule of the pope between 756–1870

    The Papal States, officially the State of the Church, were a conglomeration of territories on the Italian peninsula under the direct sovereign rule of the Pope from 756 to 1870. They were among the major states of Italy from the 8th century until the unification of Italy, which took place between 1859 and 1870, and culminated in their demise. The state was legally established in the 8th century when Pepin the Short, king of the Franks, gifted Pope Stephen II, as a temporal sovereign, lands formerly held by Arian Christian Lombards adding them to lands and other real estate formerly acquired and held by the bishops of Rome as landlords from the time of Constantine onward.
