List Of Bishops Of Warmia
This is a list of Bishops and Prince-Bishops of the Diocese of Warmia (Ermland)
The Bishopric was founded in 1243 as the Bishopric of Ermland, one of four bishoprics of Teutonic Prussia. In 1356 it became an Imperial Prince-Bishopric under Emperor Charles IV, and from 1512 until the 20th century it was an exempt bishopric.
