The circumstances of the establishment of the Diocese of Pécs are still under debate.
The territories of the future Diocese were probably inhabited by the Black Hungarians until the beginning of the eleventh century and King Stephen I of Hungary set up the Bishopric after his victory over them.
The Diocese of Pécs is suffragan to the Archdiocese of Esztergom, to the northeast.
The Deed of Foundation is issued in 1009 with the consent of the Pope.
At Pécs, construction begins immediately on the cathedral.
