Pope Martin IV
The cathedral was administered by a Chapter. The Cantor and Chapter are mentioned in the letter of Pope Martin IV on 23 November 1282, in which he approves their request to have Bishop Goffredus of Leuca transferred to Ugento as their bishop in succession to the late Bishop Lando. In 1705, there were three dignities and twelve Canons in the Chapter. In the mid-nineteenth century, the Chapter consisted of only one dignity, the Cantor, and ten Canons.
