=== Kingdom of Poland and Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth === Three bishoprics were initially parts of the Kingdom of Poland and its offshoots before being subsequently incorporated into the Holy Roman Empire, namely the bishoprics of [[Bishopric of Cammin|Wolin/Kamień (Wollin/Cammin)]] (1140-1181), [[Bishopric of Lebus|Lubusz (Lebus)]] (1125-1372) and [[Bishopric of Breslau|Wrocław (Breslau)]] (1201-1335/1348), with the latter two of them continuing, however, as suffragan to the Polish [[Archdiocese of Gniezno|archbishopric of Gniezno]] for many years later (until 1424 in the case of Lebus and until 1821 in the case of Breslau). On the other hand, the Prince Bishopric of Warmia was obtained by [[Poland]] following the [[Second Peace of Thorn]]. {|class="sortable wikitable" |- ! style="width: 10%;" class="unsortable" | Arms ! style="width: 10%;" | Name ! style="width: 10%;" | Rank ! style="width: 20%;" class="unsortable" | Local name(s)] ! style="width: 10%;" | Years under Polish crown or offshoots ! style="width: 10%;" | Modern<br />nation ! style="width: 30%;" class="unsortable" | Notes |- !
