Respuesta :
The Papal States were established in 756 thanks to the Donation of Pepin, which gave the popes the legal authority to rule outside of the Duchy of Rome.
The territory that belonged to Ravenna, including towns like Forl with their surrounding countryside, the Lombard conquests in the Romagna, the Duchy of Spoleto and Benevento, and the Pentapolis, were all officially granted to the pope by the treaty (the "five cities" of Rimini, Pesaro, Fano, Senigallia and Ancona). Both Narni and Ceccano were were papal possessions. The Roman Empire had previously owned the regions mentioned in the treaty of 756. Pepin was approached by imperial envoys in Pavia who offered him a sizable sum of money in exchange for returning the lands to the empire. Pepin declined, claiming that the lands belonged to St. Peter and the Roman church.
