Abstract
The aim of this article is to give an account and an analysis of the different elements that have played a part throughout History in the formation of dioceses in Castille and Leon, and of the territorial entities integrated within them: archdeaconries, archbishoprics ... It is not only on their origins that light will be shed on, but also on the process of that ecclesiastical, territorial division, which does not coincide with the civil one. The criteria that have lately prevailed show a tendency to making diocesan limits coincide with provincial ones. Curiously, as regards Castille and Leon, this effect has been achieved in a scale larger than that of other regional entities.
