Background |
| |
He was a native of Grizac in Languedoc. He became a Benedictine and a doctor in Canon Law, teaching at Montpellier and Avignon. He held the office of abbot of Saint-Victor in Marseille; and at Avignon. |
| |
In an extraordinary event, on his return from Naples, where he had been sent as papal legate, he was elected Pope Urban V (September 28, 1362) in succession to Pope Innocent VI (1352–62). |
| |
One of the early actions of the papacy of Pope Urban V was to suppress and exterminate powerful rivals for the temporal sovereignty of Rome and Italy. In 1363 he excommunicated Bernabò Visconti, the last great figure of the Imperial Party in northern Italy, which occupied the Papal city of Bologna and valiantly resisted the troops of Gil de Albornoz, the Papal Military Commander in Italy at the time. |
| |
He was forced in 1364 through Emperor Charles IV to remove the ban against Visconti and obtained Bologna only after a significant payment. |
| |
In 1367 Pope Urban V arrived in Rome supported by Papal and Holy Roman Imperial Militia. His stay was relatively brief and in 1370 escaped the dangers of Rome to return at Avignon. A few days later, he fell ill from poisoning and died on December 19th 1370. |
| |
He died on December 19, 1370 and was succeeded by Pope Gregory XI (1370-1378). |
