IV, p. 27 (hardcover), Severian says: \"'I was the\nAutarch--the ruler--of the Commonwealth; now I'm the surrogate of Urth,\nand its ambassador.'\"  Later, there's this dialogue: \"'Then you still\nclaim you're really the Autarch?'  'I was,' I told him.\" (ch. XVI, p. 115)\nThese passages indicate clearly that when Severian left Urth, he ceased to\nbe the Autarch.  That being the case, Valeria could not have been\nSeverian's regent.  Furthermore, Eata refers to Valeria as being Autarch\nbefore she marries Dux Caesidius. (ch. XLVI, p. 328)"
