A list of the bishops of the diocese of Grenoble was compiled by Bishop Hugues (1080âÂÂ1132) in his cartulary, and carried forward until the mid-15th century.
The names, dates, and order of the bishops between 1230 and 1340 is the subject of confusion, in the sources and in the modern authorities. Barthélémy Hauréau, in 1860, cited an unpublished document dated 1310, written by Bishop Guillelmus, in which the bishop refers to his predecessors by name and order: Soffredus, Petrus, Falco, and Guillelmus. Hauréau concludes that the author, Bishop Guillelmus, is the immediate successor of the bishop Guillelmus mentioned in the text. Most authorities, therefore, are wrong in stating that there was a third bishop Guillelmus, who was in office in 1310, and in stating that there was an episcopal election in 1302.

Constitutional Church
In 1790 the ancien régime and the system of dioceses were abolished by the French revolution. New dioceses were ordered by the National Assembly in the Civil Constitution of the Clergy of 12 July 1790, the diocese of Isère, in the Constitutional Church. Constitutional bishops were elected by special electors approved by the regime. Appeal or even reference to the pope was forbidden.
Diocese of Grenoble, restored
In 1801 the diocese was restored by Pope Pius VII.
