In 1477 as a prince-bishopric it accepted the King of Hungary as protector instead of the King of Poland, who was by agreement supposed to protect Ermland, but instead invaded with his military, in order to conquer it. After several military attacks and heavy descruction by Poland, the Ermland prince-bishop chapter was forced to accept nominal protection by the king of Poland again.

After the ] in 1569, the ] is in some Polish sources assumed to have been directly included as part of the ] within the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, however it remained an exemt bishopric directly under the pope and its status as belonging to German Concordat was several times verified by the popes.

Since the bishopric received ]ric status by ] in 1356 and it went to the imperial diet in 1447 as of German Nation, it applied to the pope and received exempt status in 1512 with jurisdiction directly under the pope. It was not an integral part of the ], it was just under its nominal protection.

The kings or sejm of Poland many time put Ermland bishops under pressure and the land under war in order to annex. However all bishops had to be educated and have knowledge of cannon and Prussian laws before becoming Ermland bishops and after the illegal take-over attempt on Fürstbischof ] by ], ] and ], they protected the Ermland independence and the many legal differences from neighbouring lands. The Ermland bishops were presidents of the Prussian ]e.

==History==
Along with ], ], and ], Ermland Latin: Warmia was one of four dioceses in Prussia created in 1243 by the ] ]. The four Prussian bishoprics were under the jurisdiction of the ].


After the ] in 1410, both the Sambian and Warmian bishops paid temporary homage to ] of Poland and Lithuania.

The ] removed the bishopric from the protectorship of the Teutonic Knights and placed it under the protectorship of the ]. The bishops insisted on their imperial privileges and continued ruling the territory as ]s although the Polish king did not like to share this point of view. This led to conflict when the Polish king claimed the right to name the bishops, as he did in the ]. The chapter did not accept this and elected ] as bishop, which led to the ] (''Warmia Stift Feud'', 1467-1479) between King ] (1447–1492) and Nikolaus von Tüngen (1467-89) who was supported by the Teutonic Order and King ].

After bringing several wars and devastation and for that being reprimanded by the pope, the Polish king finally accepted Tüngen as prince-bishop in the ], while Tüngen inversely accepted the Polish king as "protector" and obliged the chapter to elect only candidates approved by the Polish king. However, when Tüngen died in 1489, the chapter honored the wishes of von Tüngen and elected ] as bishop and ] supported Watzenrode against the wishes of ], who preferred his son Frederic. This problem finally led to the exemption of the bishopric in 1512 by ]. In the ] (], ]) Warmia conceded to King ] the limited right to propose four candidates to the chapter for the election.

By 1525 the Bishopric of Warmia had lost two-thirds of its parishes due to to the inhabitants for the most part becoming protestants and the Order's Grand Master ] secularized the Order's remaining Prussian territories to create the ] during the ].

After the ] the later cardinal ] (1551-79) held a diocesan synode (1565) and the same year he brought the ] to Braunsberg. While nearly all of Prussia took on evangelical Protestant religion, the prince-bishops Hosius and Cromer and the Jesuits were instrumental in keeping or regaining much of Warmia's population to Catholicism. The Congregation of St. Catherine, founded at Braunsberg by ], engaged in education, especially schooling for girls.

Several times in the 17th and early 18th centuries Ermland/Warmia was exposed to fighting between Polish and ] troops in the ] mostly on Prussian soil.

By the late 18th century, the prince-bishop was an '']'' ] of the ] <reference?>.

As a result of abdication of Polish king, the Fuerstbistum Ermland /prince-bishopric of Warmia was no longer under a Polish king's protection. All of Prussia was re-united under one ruler into the ]'s ] as ] of Ermland. Under the ] in 1945 Ermland was conquered along with all eastern Germany and the people were expelled. The bishopseat of Ermland remained vacant.

In 1972 a Polish bishopric of Warmia was installed. In 1992 this became ]. <ref>{{cite book |title=Encyclopedia of the United Nations and International Agreements
