History
According to unreliable documents in the cartularies of Valpuesta, the diocese was established in 804 as a suffragan of the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Tarragona.[1] It was suppressed in 1087 and its territory merged into the then bishopric of Burgos (now a metropolitan Archdiocese).

Titular see of Valliposita
The diocese was nominally revived in 1969 as a titular bishopric of the lowest (episcopal) rank.
It since has the following (near-)consecutive, so-far regular (not secular) incumbents, so far of the fitting Episcopal (lowest) rank [2]:

gollark: Well, we have a code donation program.
gollark: There is a *lot* of potatOS. I even skipped some, but there's still a lot.
gollark: It might also be useful to look into moving some common stuff like fetch, fread/fwrite and all that into a big library...
gollark: Oh, come to think of it, it would be cool if potatOS could do P2P update if there's no internet connection somehow. Which is probably one of the things git is designed for. Hmmm.
