Editing Province of Tarragona (section)

==History==
After the [[Umayyad conquest of Hispania]] in the late eighth century, this part of Spain came under the control of the [[Umayyad Caliphate]] and most of the Iberian peninsula was known as [[Al-Andalus]], and was dominated by Muslim rulers. [[Abd al-Rahman I]] founded an independent dynasty that survived in the region until the 11th century. 

After the Muslim conquest, the bishopric of Tarragona came under the jurisdiction of the metropolitans of Narbonne or Auch in southern France. In 1089, this was reorganised, and it came under the jurisdiction of the bishopric of Vich, and in 1118, after Tarragona had been reconquered, the [[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Tarragona]] was established.<ref>{{cite book|author=O'Callaghan, Joseph F. |title=A History of Medieval Spain |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xVMJAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA307 |year=2013 |publisher=Cornell University Press |isbn=978-0-8014-6871-1 |page=307}}</ref>
