The Diocese of Moldovița was a relatively short-lived (i.e. 1418–1550) Latin bishopric in the Bukovina region of present-day northeastern Romania (more specifically in Suceava County).
History[edit]
In 1418, a Latin Diocese of Moldovita / Moldawitza / Suczawa [i.e. Suceava in Polish] / Moldavien(sis) (Latin adjective) was established in the Principality of Moldavia.
In 1550, it was suppressed, without direct successor.
Recorded incumbents were as follows:
(all Roman Rite)
- probably incomplete
- Suffragan? Bishops of Moldovita
- Pierre de Insula (1476.03.29–death 1484)
- Simon Dobriozanus (1484.11.14–death 1497)
