Claims to ecclesiastical or any other jurisdiction

Does "claims to ecclesiastical or any other jurisdiction" mean "claims to ecclesiastical jurisdiction or any other jurisdiction"?

Background info:

The Church of England, and the monarch's relation to it, was established through a series of Parliamentary Acts in the 1530s, which brought about the English Reformation.

Henry VIII broke from the Roman Catholic Church by denying papal claims to ecclesiastical or any other jurisdiction, and by declaring himself rather than the Pope as Supreme Head of the Church in England.
