Diocese of Urgell
The Diocese of Urgell (Catalan pronunciation: [uɾˈ(d)ʒeʎ]; Latin: Diœcesis Urgellensis) is a Latin Church diocese of the Catholic Church in Catalonia (Spain) and covering the whole of the sovereign Principality of Andorra. It covers territories including in the historical County of Urgell, and has its origins in the 5th century AD or possibly earlier. It is based in the region of the historical Catalan County of Urgell, though it has different borders. The seat and cathedral of the bishop are situated in the town of la Seu d'Urgell. Among the most notable events in the history of the diocese are Bishop Felix's adoptionist revolt, the coup of Bishop Esclua, and the overthrowing of the bishop by members of aristocratic families (namely Salla i Ermengol del Conflent, Eribau i Folcs dels Cardona, Guillem Guifré de Cerdanya and Ot de Pallars) between the years 981 and 1122. Also important is the diocese's connection with Andorra, as the bishop holds the role, ex officio, of co-prince of Andorra...
