Diocese of Valpuesta


Valpuesta was a Catholic historical suffragan diocese in Castile, northern Spain, and has been nominally restored as the Latin titular see Valliposita.

The diocese was established in 800 AD, as a suffragan of the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Tarragona.

It was suppressed in 1087 and its territory merged into the then bishopric of Burgos (now a metropolitan Archdiocese).

The diocese was nominally revived in 1969, under the modern Latin name of Valliposita, as a titular bishopric of the lowest (episcopal) rank.

It since has the following (near-)consecutive, so-far regular (not secular) incumbents, so far of the fitting Episcopal (lowest) rank :
