Eugenius III

Eugenius III
(d. 1153)
   Pope.
   Eugenius was born Bernardo Pignatelli in Pisa, Italy. He joined the Cistercian community of Clairvaux and subsequently became Abbot of a house in Rome. He was elected Pope in 1145 and bernard of Clairvaux’s ascetical treatise, De Consideratione, was dedicated to him. He supported the Second Crusade and was greatly involved in the European politics of his day. He negotiated the treaty of Constance with the Emperor frederick barbarossa; he supported Archbishop theobald in England and he sent the future Pope Hadrian IV as a legate to Scandinavia. He summoned the Council of Rheims in 1148 which heard the defence of gilbert de la porrée against the charge of heresy and examined the visions of hildegard of bingen. Eugenius also issued Canons to strengthen the decrees of the Lateran Council of 1139 which ensured the excommunication of Arnold of Brescia.
