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. After 1947 the bishop's seat was left vacant following the expulsion of the German population and the Bishop of Ermland from Prussia.
In 1972 a new Polish Diocese was installed, which in 1992 was elevated to an archdiocese.
(Polish: Diecezja warmińska, Latin: Archidioecesis Varmiensis, German: Bistum Ermland).

Famous quotes containing the words list of and/or list:
“Thirty—the promise of a decade of loneliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning brief-case of enthusiasm, thinning hair.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“We saw the machinery where murderers are now executed. Seven have been executed. The plan is better than the old one. It is quietly done. Only a few, at the most about thirty or forty, can witness [an execution]. It excites nobody outside of the list permitted to attend. I think the time for capital punishment has passed. I would abolish it. But while it lasts this is the best mode.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
