Sede vacante is an expression, used in the Canon Law of the Roman Catholic Church, that refers to the vacancy of the episcopal see (the official seat of a bishop) of a particular church. It is Latin for "the seat being vacant" (the ablative absolute to sedes vacans "vacant seat"), that is, the cathedra of the particular church.



The Prince-Bishopric of Osnabrück was a prince-bishopric centered on the Roman Catholic Diocese of Osnabrück. The diocese was erected in 772 and is the oldest see founded by Charlemagne, in order to Christianize the conquered stem-duchy of Saxony.
