Medieval diocese of Knin on a map

The history of the diocese of Knin can be traced from the mid-11th century when a court bishop was established by the Kings of Croatia under the title "Bishop of the Croats" (episcopus Chroatorum). Its see was originally located in the Romanesque church of Saint Mary in the royal village of Biskupija near Knin. Following the 1185 ecclesial council in Split, the bishop was transferred to Knin, and renamed "Bishop of Knin". The construction of a new cathedral was initiated in 1203, on the basis of a previous 10th-century royal monastery in Kapitul, and was consecrated during the tenure of Bishop Nicholas (1270-1272).

A history of the successive bishops, from Mark in 1050 to Joseph in 1755, is given in Daniele Farlati's Illyricum sacrum , IV (Venice, 1775). The bishops who held the title no longer resided in Knin after it fell to the Ottoman Turks in 1522. After Venice captured the area in 1768, the bishop of Roman Catholic Diocese of Šibenik was appointed to administer the diocese. [2] In 1828 Pope Leo XII erected the ecclesiastical province of Dalmatia in the Kingdom of Dalmatia, in the papal bull Locum Beati Petri , [3] through which he suppressed the diocese and transferred its territory to the Diocese of Šibenik.
