Latin Bishopric of Argos

From Wikipedia - Reading time: 7 min

The Latin Bishopric of Argos (Latin: Dioecesis Argolicensis, lit. "Argolic Diocese"; also Latin: Dioecesis Argo and Latin: Dioecesis Argivensis — "Argo Diocese" and "Argive Diocese") is a former Latin Church episcopal see in the Argolid in southern Greece, formed with the establishment of the Crusader States, and suffragan to the Latin Archbishop of Corinth. For part of its history it totally supplanted the local Greek Orthodox episcopal administration (the mediaeval Metropolis of Argos and Nauplia, now called the Metropolis of Argolis) and at other times existed in competition with it. At various times in its history it had no incumbent bishop. It was finally suppressed in 1715 and exists now as a Catholic titular see.

Frankish rule

[edit]

Under Frankish Crusader rule, Argos was part of the Lordship of Argos and Nauplia, and became a Latin Church bishopric in 1212. It lasted as a residential see until Argos was taken by the Ottoman Empire in 1463, but would be revived under the second Venetian rule in 1686. In the meantime, the Venetians retained Nauplia until 1540, when it was lost in the Third Ottoman Venetian War. Until then, at least some of the nominal bishops of Argos resided at Nauplia; afterwards in Venice. The Orthodox bishop returned to Argos during this interval.

Venetian Rule

[edit]

There was a Catholic church hierarchy in Argos and Nauplia at this time, which compelled the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Argos and Nauplia to relocate to the village of Merbaka, further east.
