The Diocese of Funchal was created originally on January 12, 1514, through the bull Pro excellenti præeminentia of Pope Leo X, following the elevation of Funchal from a village to the status of town (cidade), by King Manuel I of Portugal (royal mandate of August 21, 1508). The new diocese was dependent on (suffragan) the Archdiocese of Lisbon.
