URBAN III . (Uberto See also:Crivelli), See also:pope from the 25th of See also:November 1185 to the 20th of See also:October 1187, was a Milanese, and had been made See also:cardinal-See also:priest of St Lorenzo in Damaso and See also:archbishop of See also:Milan by See also:Lucius- III., whom he succeeded. His See also:family had suffered greatly at the hands of See also:Frederick I., and he now took up vigorously his predecessor's quarrels with the See also:emperor, including the See also:standing dispute about the territories of the Countess See also:Matilda. His opposition to the pretensions of the See also:Roman See also:senate to govern the Papal States, moreover, compelled him to remain in See also:exile through his pontificate. He suspended the See also:patriarch of See also:Aquileia for crowning the emperor'sson, See also:Henry, See also:king of See also:Italy (See also:January 1186), in violation of his own rights as archbishop of Milan; and only the entreaties of the citizens of See also:Verona, where he was stopping, prevented him from excommunicating Frederick. In 1187 he exhorted the See also:Christian See also:kings to renewed endeavours in the See also:Holy See also:Land, and the fall of See also:Jerusalem on the 2nd of October is said to have caused his See also:death. He died at See also:Ferrara and was succeeded by See also:Gregory VIII. His letters are in J. P. See also:Migne, See also:Patrol. See also:Lat., vol. 202.
