Italian term or phrase: asservito
Original sentence:
Caterina trova un Pontefice asservito al Re di Francia, ostaggio della sua stessa corte.

Talking about Catherine of Sienna when she goes to Avignon to bring the Pope back to Rome. I can't seem to translate this sentence without making it seem sloppy.
