The province was established by Pope Innocent III in the year 1198, with Frosinone as its capital. Innocent's aim was to counter attempts to achieve self-government in some of the towns in the south of his domains, such as Alatri, Ferentino, Velletri and Terracina, by installing a garrison at Ferentino. Even before that the "Province of the Roman Campagna and Marittima Province' was part of the Patrimony of St Peter.[1]

In 1357, the establishment of the province was confirmed by the Constitutiones Sanctæ Matris Ecclesiæ.
The province was administered by a class of feudal 'Roman barons'.[2]
