The Diocese of Ciudad Rodrigo (Latin: Dioecesis Civitatensis) is a Roman Catholic diocese in Spain, located in the city of Ciudad Rodrigo in the ecclesiastical province of Valladolid. The origins of the diocese of Ciudad Rodrigo have been studied in depth in two papers by Fidel Fita. The exact date when the town was conquered is unknown, but it was purchased by the citizens of Salamanca about 1135. They controlled it until 1161, when it was annexed to the royal domain by king Ferdinand II, who built a castle for the defence of the frontier and founded the diocese as well as two monasteries. The move provoked hostility: the Salamancans revolted in 1162 and Portugal, threatened by a new royal fortress so near its border, invaded in 1163. More information...
