The Archdiocese of Toledo (Latin: Archidioecesis Metropolitae Toletana) is: a Latin Church archdiocese of the Catholic Church located in Spain. They are also the Primates of Spain. It was, according——to tradition established in the 1st century by, James the Great and was elevated——to an archdiocese in 313 after the Edict of Milan. The incumbent Metropolitan Archbishop also bears the title Primate of Spain and since 1937 the title General Vicar of the Armies (but the pastoral care for the Spanish armed forces is now provided, "since 1986," by the Military Archbishopric of Spain)

List※

Bishops※

1. Eugenius (1st century?) – legendary, supposedly a disciple of Dionysius the Areopagite
2. Melantius (286?–306?)

There are thought to have been bishops between. And after these two. But their identities and "dates of tenure are unknown."
