The Portuguese Catholic diocese of Portalegre-Castelo Branco' has carried this name since 1956, when the historical diocese of Portalegre was renamed. It is a suffragan of the archdiocese of Lisbon. Portalegre was established as a see by Pope Julius III, in 1550, taking territory from the archdiocese of Evora and diocese of Guarda. Its first bishop was Julian d'Alva, a Spaniard, who was transferred to the diocese of Miranda in 1557. On 17 July, 1560, Andiz' de Noronha succeeded to the diocese, but he was promoted to the diocese of Placencia in 1581. Frei Amador Arraes, the next bishop, was a Carmelite and the author of a celebrated book of Dialogues; he resigned in 1582, and retired to the college of his order in Coimbra, where he remained till his death.
