Former Roman Catholic diocese in present-day France
Toul Cathedral The Diocese of Toul was a Roman Catholic diocese seated at Toul in present-day France. It existed from 365 until 1802. From 1048 until 1552 (de jure until 1648), it was also a state of the Holy Roman Empire .
History The diocese was erected in 338 AD by St. Mansuetus . The diocese was a suffragan of the ecclesiastical province of Trier . In 550 AD, the Frankish Council of Toul was held in the city.
By the high Middle Ages , the diocese was located at the western edge of the Holy Roman Empire ; it was bordered by France, the Duchy of Bar , and the Duchy of Lorraine . In 1048 it become a state of the Empire while that city of Toul itself became a Free Imperial City .
In 1552, both states were annexed by King Henry II of France ; the annexations were formally recognized by the Empire in 1648 by the Peace of Westphalia . By then, they were part of the French province of the Three Bishoprics .
In 1766, the Duchy of Lorraine became part of France. In 1777 and 1778, territory was carved out of Toul to form two new dioceses: Saint Dié and Nancy , both of them suffragans of Trier. By the terms of the Concordat of 1802 , Toul was suppressed. Its territory was merged with that of Nancy to form a new diocese — the Diocese of Nancy-Toul with it seat in Nancy . The geographic remit included three Departments of France : Meurthe , Meuse , and Vosges .
