| | Diocese of Palencia |
 | | This Diocese comprises the civil provinces of Palencia, Santander, Valladolid, Burgos, and Leon. |
 | | In 1113 a provincial council was held in Palencia by Archbishop Bernardo to quell the disorders of the epoch. |
 | | The death of the founder in 1214, the minority of Henry I, and the growth of its fortunate rival, Salamanca, caused the decay of Palencia, many of whose professors and students went to Salamanca, whence the erroneous belief of a transfer of the university to the latter place. |
