of the Despotate of the Morea, who restored the Orthodox see. Patras was taken by the Ottoman Turks in 1460. The list of its Latin archbishops has been compiled by Le Quien, Heinrich Gelzer, Jules Pargoire. When Patras ceased to have residential Latin bishops, Latin titular bishops continued to be appointed. This practice ceased after the Second Vatican Council and no further appointments to the titular see have been made since the death in 1971 of the last bishop to hold the title. In 1640 the Jesuits established themselves at Patras, and in 1687 the Franciscans and Carmelites. In the nineteenth century the pope confided the administration of the Peloponnese to the Bishop of Zakynthos, in 1834 to the Bishop of Syros.
