Therefore, in the first part of the paper, we explain de concept “territoriality” applied to the study of medieval dioceses. In the second part, we analyse a case study based on the inscriptions of the diocese of Burgos, a major player in the promotion of these inscriptions. Finally, we reflect on the relationship between the central see and the inscriptions located in its periphery.
