Founded 678, with Saint Theodore as first bishop, by transference from Sidnacester (now Stow), which was united to Leicester in the 10th century. The first Norman bishop was Remigius of Fecamp, 1075, who built the cathedral, rebuilt under Saint Hugh (1186) and Robert Grosseteste. In 1536 occurred the "Pilgrimage of Grace," an armed protest against religious changes. The last Catholic bishop, and also the last in England, was Thomas Watson (died 1584). See also:
