[edit] Unclear passage
During the reign of Vasiliy I, feudal landownership kept growing. With the growth of princely authority in Moscow, feudals' judicial powers were partially diminished and transferred to Vasili's deputies and heads of volosts.
So, was feudalism growing or declining? My guess would be that the first sentence refers to the centralization of royal powers at the expense of local feudal lordships, but I haven't any books upon which to change the present unsatisfactory wording (though "feudal's" is certainly faulty English).
