High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Italian Catholic archdiocese of Lecce has existed as a diocese since 1057. It has been an archdiocese since 1980, when it became the metropolitan of the archdiocese of Otranto, reversing the previous position. It was known to the ancients as Lupiae. In the time of the Normans, Lecce became the seat of a countship, some of its counts being famous, notably Tancred of Lecce, who contested with Emperor Henry VI the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, and Gautier de Brienne, cousin of Tancred. The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Otranto (Latin: Archidioecesis Hydruntina) is a see of the Catholic Church in Italy. The seat of the diocese is in the city of Otranto, Apulia. It is a suffragan of the archdiocese of Lecce.
