History

Pre-reformation diocese and archdiocese of Utrecht

According to the

pagan Frisia, at the request of Pepin of Herstal.[1][2]
The Diocese of Utrecht (
Latin: Dioecesis Ultraiectensis) was erected by Pope Sergius I in 695.[3]
In 695 Sergius consecrated Willibrord in Rome as Bishop of the Frisians.[1]

George Edmundson wrote, in

legatus natus,[a] to summon, to a court of first instance in Cologne, Philip of Burgundy, his treasurer, and his ecclesiastical and secular subjects.[8][b] Leo X only confirmed a right of the Church, explained Neale; but Leo X's confirmation "was providential" in respect to the future schism.[5]: 72  The Bishopric ended when Henry of the Palatinate resigned the see in 1528 with the consent of the cathedral chapter, and transferred his secular authority to Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor. The chapters voluntarily transferred their right of electing the bishop to Charles V, and Pope Clement VII gave his consent to the proceeding.[1] George Edmundson wrote, in History of Holland, that Henry, "was compelled" in 1528 to formally surrender "the temporalities of the see" to Charles V.[9]

The Holland Mission started when the apostolic vicariate was erected by Pope Clement VIII in 1592.[12] "For two centuries after the [1648] Peace of Westphalia much of Holland was under apostolic vicars as mission territory, as England was in the same period; although some areas had archpriests dependent on the nuncios in Cologne and Brussels."[13]

In the early 18th century there was a grave internal conflict around the apostolic vicars

Old Catholic Church of Utrecht in 1723, a schism of several thousand leading Dutch Catholics breaking with the Roman Holy See. In 1725, in an attempt to stimulate the schismatic church and weaken the Catholic presence in the Netherlands, the Calvinist States General
