At <a href="/wiki/L%C3%B6d%C3%B6se" title="Lödöse">Lödöse</a> there were also Franciscan order established in 1283 and a Dominican order established in 1286.

Because of this, although Odinkar Hvite the Elder functioned as the first bishop stationed at Skara about 990, <a href="/wiki/Sigfrid_of_Sweden" title="Sigfrid of Sweden">Sigfrid</a> was officially named as the first <a href="/wiki/Bishop_of_Skara" class="mw-redirect" title="Bishop of Skara">Bishop of Skara</a> in a list of bishops in the <a href="/wiki/V%C3%A4stg%C3%B6talagen" title="Västgötalagen">Västgötalagen</a>, dating to c. 1325. Sigfrid was an Englishman of Scandinavian origin, a court bishop of King <a href="/wiki/Olaf_I_of_Norway" class="mw-redirect" title="Olaf I of Norway">Olaf I of Norway</a>, and a monk of <a href="/wiki/Glastonbury" title="Glastonbury">Glastonbury</a>. According to the Västgötalagen, Sigfrid founded three churches in <a href="/wiki/V%C3%A4sterg%C3%B6tland" title="Västergötland">Västergötland</a> and baptized <a href="/wiki/Olof_Sk%C3%B6tkonung" title="Olof Skötkonung">Olof Skötkonung</a>, the first Christian <a href="/wiki/King_of_Sweden" class="mw-redirect" title="King of Sweden">King of Sweden</a>, at <a href="/wiki/Husaby" title="Husaby">Husaby</a> in 1008. In Skara, Odinkar was succeeded by Thurgot, the first diocesan Bishop of Skara who held the position from 1012 to 1030. He was nominally succeeded by Gotskalk, a monk of the <a href="/wiki/Benedictine" class="mw-redirect" title="Benedictine">Benedictine</a> abbey at <a href="/wiki/L%C3%BCneburg" title="Lüneburg">Lüneburg</a>, who never left his abbey, although he had been consecrated as bishop of Skara by Archbishop Liavizo of Hamburg (1030–32). Sigfrid took over official domain as the bishop of Skara in about 1031, a position which he held until at least 1043. </p><p>Although Sigfrid had entered into communication with the <a href="/wiki/Archbishopric_of_Bremen" class="mw-redirect" title="Archbishopric of Bremen">Archbishopric of Bremen</a> and sent his relative and successor <a href="/wiki/Osmund_(missionary_bishop)" title="Osmund (missionary bishop)">Osmund</a> to be educated there, both Sigfrid and Osmund seem to have been regarded as intruders by the <a href="/wiki/Archbishop_of_Hamburg-Bremen" class="mw-redirect" title="Archbishop of Hamburg-Bremen">Archbishop of Hamburg–Bremen</a>. Osmund was consecrated in <a href="/wiki/Poland" title="Poland">Poland</a>, and refused to acknowledge the primacy of Hamburg. His refusal was supported by King <a href="/wiki/Anund_Jacob" title="Anund Jacob">Anund Jacob</a>. Consequently, when <a href="/wiki/Adalvard_the_Elder" title="Adalvard the Elder">Adalvard the Elder</a>, the dean of Bremen who had been consecrated Bishop of Skara by Archbishop Adalbert on the death of Bishop Gotskalk, came to Skara around 1050 to take possession of his see, he was prevented from doing so. He had to wait for Osmund's departure for England around 1057 before he could overtake the position and install himself as the Bishop of Skara. Adalvard the Elder died in 1060 and was buried near the first Cathedral of St. Mary, which he had commissioned. Acelin, dean of Bremen, was consecrated bishop in 1061, but never took possession of the see. Adalvard the younger, who had visited and buried his elder namesake in 1060, was invited on his expulsion from the <a href="/wiki/Diocese_of_Sigtuna" title="Diocese of Sigtuna">See of Sigtuna</a> in 1067 to become Bishop of Skara, but was recalled to Bremen by Archbishop Adalbert. </p><p>Little is known of the next four bishops which succeeded Adalvard the younger: Rodulvard, Rikulf, Hervard, and finally Styrbjörn, who died c. 1130. They were eventually succeeded by Bishop Ödgrim or Oedgrim. <a href="/wiki/Varnhem_Abbey" title="Varnhem Abbey">Varnhem Abbey</a> was founded in 1150 during his episcopate, and Oedgrim is known to have been present at the consecrations of <a href="/wiki/Lund_Cathedral" title="Lund Cathedral">Lund Cathedral</a> in 1145 as well as <a href="/wiki/Skara_Cathedral" title="Skara Cathedral">Skara Cathedral</a>. Oedgrim's successor, Bishop Benedict I (1158–90), expanded and furnished the cathedral. Benedict also oversaw the construction of Churches of St. Nicholas and of St. Peter in Skara, as well other infrastructure works such as roads and bridges. </p><p>Bishop Jerpulf was consecrated in 1191, and held the position until 1201. During his term, he persuaded a popular assembly at Askubeck to assign to the bishop part of the <a href="/wiki/Tithe" title="Tithe">tithe</a>. Bishop Benedict II (1217–30) founded several secular canonries in 1220, and thus establishing the diocese's <a href="/wiki/Cathedral_chapter" title="Cathedral chapter">cathedral chapter</a>. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Brinolfo_Algotsson" class="mw-redirect" title="Brinolfo Algotsson">Brinolfo Algotsson</a> is perhaps the most well known bishop of Skara, and the medieval bishop about whom the most records survive. He studied for eighteen years at the <a href="/wiki/University_of_Paris" title="University of Paris">University of Paris</a> before becoming the <a href="/wiki/Dean_(religion)" class="mw-redirect" title="Dean (religion)">dean</a> of <a href="/wiki/Diocese_of_Link%C3%B6ping" title="Diocese of Linköping">Linköping</a>. In 1278, he became Bishop of Skara. He issued <a href="/wiki/Statute" title="Statute">statutes</a> in 1231, and composed <a href="/wiki/Hymn" title="Hymn">hymns</a> and other works, amongst them a <i>Life of St. <a href="/wiki/Helena_of_Sk%C3%B6vde" title="Helena of Skövde">Helena of Skövde</a></i>. Bishop Brinolfo Algotsson died on 6 February 1317. After his death, he became venerated as a saint and in 1499 <a href="/wiki/Pope_Alexander_VI" title="Pope Alexander VI">Alexander VI</a> allowed for the translation of his relics, but Saint Brinolfo was never formally <a href="/wiki/Canonization" title="Canonization">canonized</a>. Both he and his successor, Bishop Benedict III Tunnesson (1317–21), oversaw the restoration of Skara Catheral which began in 1312 and was completed in 1320.

His successor, Bishop Vincent Hennings, was beheaded by King <a href="/wiki/Christian_II_of_Denmark" title="Christian II of Denmark">Christian II</a> at the Stockholm bloodbath on 8 November 1520, although he protested aloud on his way to the <a href="/wiki/Scaffold" class="mw-redirect" title="Scaffold">scaffold</a> against the injustice of his condemnation. Vincent Hennings was succeeded by Magnus Haraldsson (1523), whose election was not confirmed by the pope in spite of King <a href="/wiki/Gustav_I_of_Sweden" class="mw-redirect" title="Gustav I of Sweden">Gustavus I</a>'s request. Instead the pope installed Johannes Franciscus de Potentia, a <a href="/wiki/Franciscan" class="mw-redirect" title="Franciscan">Franciscan</a>, as Bishop of Skara, but the king refused to receive him.
