Years: 1186 - 1186

Uberto Crivelli had been made cardinal and Archbishop of Milan by Pope Lucius III, whom he had succeeded on November 25, 1185.

He vigorously takes up his predecessor's quarrels with Holy Roman Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa, including the standing dispute about the disposal of the territories of the countess Matilda of Tuscany.

Even after his elevation to the papacy, Urban continues to hold the archbishopric of Milan, and in this capacity refuses to crown as King of Italy Frederick I's son Prince Henry, who had married Constance of Sicily, the heiress of the kingdom of Sicily.

Prevented by his enemies from entering Rome, the new pope remains in Verona.
