Chronology of Catholic Dioceses:Notes on the Diocese of Lacedonia

The episcopal see dates from the eleventh century. The first known bishop is Desiderius, mentioned in 1082, but he is known to have had predecessors. Under bishop Francesco Ubaldo Romanzi (1798), the Diocese of Lacedonia was increased by union with Trevico, a neighbouring diocese subject to the Metropolitan of Benevento, and which dates at least from the tenth century, when a Bishop Benedetto is mentioned (964).
