Background

Born Uberto Crivelli into the ancient priestly bloodline family of Crivelli-Castiglioni of Milan, Italy. Both the Crivelli and Castiglioni can claim their heritage under the Christian banner as leaders in Milan since at least the 6th Century with a number of inter marriages over the centuries.

Uberto himself fathered several children including Godfrey Crivelli da Castiglione (Pope Celestine IV) -- Pope for only 18 days in 1241.

Uberto Crivelli was made cardinal and archbishop of Milan by Pope Lucius III (1181–85), whom he succeeded on (November 25, 1185).

He vigorously took up his predecessor's quarrels with the Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa (1152–90), including the standing dispute about the succession of territories of the countess Matilda of Tuscany.

Even after his elevation to the Papacy he continued to hold the archbishopric of Milan, and in this capacity refused to crown as King of Italy Frederick I's son Prince Henry, who had married Constantia, the heiress of the kingdom of Sicily.

While Henry in the south cooperated with the rebel senate of Rome, Frederick I in the north blocked the passes of the Alps and cut off all communication between the Pope, then living in Verona, and his German adherents.

Urban III now resolved on excommunicating Frederick I, but the Veronese protested against such a proceeding being resorted to within their walls; he accordingly withdrew to Ferrara, but died before he could give effect to his intentions. His successor was Pope Gregory VIII (1187).

		Of Publishing false statements/Documents (1186) That Pope Urban III in 1186 stated falsely concerning Emperor Constantine and the terrible forgery of Constantine that in order to secure greater peace for the Church, Constantine, having withdrawn with all his court to Byzantium, besides granting to the popes regal privileges, had given dominion over Rome, Italy and Gaul, with all the riches therein. That this terrible falsity was incorporated into both church doctrine and territorial claims.
