List of Bishops of Kraków

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The diocese of Kraków was created in 1000 and was made the archdiocese of Kraków on October 28, 1925. Due to Kraków's role as Poland's political, cultural and spiritual center, the bishops and archbishops of Kraków were often very influential in the city, country and abroad. From 1443 to 1791, bishops of Kraków were simultaneously Dukes of Siewierz, although it was only Adam Stefan Sapieha who officially abandoned the title.
