| PAUL V (Camillo Borghese), whose reign was distinguished by the Jesuit Cardinal Robert Bellarmine (1542–1621), scholar, humanitarian, and theologian whose book On the Power of the Supreme Pontiff in Temporal Affairs (1610) may have encouraged Paul to press papal prerogatives in Venice; the ensuing conflict ended in a Venetian victory. Paul also quarreled with France over Gallicanism and with James I of England over oaths of allegiance. He supported the Habsburgs in the Thirty Years' War (See The Thirty Years' War). | 1 |

| URBAN VIII (Maffeo Barberini). He secured Urbino by reversion (1631), thus completing the dominions of the Papal States. In the Thirty Years' War he attempted to maintain a neutrality that brought him much criticism from the imperialist side. His main concern appears to have been for the States of the Church, which he carefully fortified. (See Italy and the Papacy) | 2 |
