Pope Clement III
See also, 11th century
antipope Clement III. Pope Clement III (or Paolo) (died
March 27, 1191), born Paulino Scolari, was elected
Pope on
December 19, 1187 and reigned until his death.A Roman by birth, he was made
cardinal bishop of Palestrina by
Pope Alexander III (1159–81) in
1180 or 1181. Shortly after his accession, he succeeded in allaying the conflict which had existed for half a century between the Popes and the citizens of Rome, with an agreement by which the citizens were allowed to elect their
magistrates, while the nomination of the governor of the city remained in the hands of the Pope. He incited
Henry II of England (1154–89) and
Philip II of France (1180–1223) to undertake the
Third Crusade (1189–92), and introduced several minor reforms in
ecclesiastical matters. On
31 May 1188 he concluded a treaty with the Romans which removed difficulties of long standing, and in April 1189 he made peace with the Emperor
Frederick I Barbarossa. He settled a controversy with
William I of Scotland (1165–1214) concerning the choice of the
archbishop of
St. Andrews, and on
13 March 1188 removed the
Scottish church from under the legatine jurisdiction of the
archbishop of York, thus making it independent of all save Rome. In spite of his conciliatory policy, Clement III angered
Henry VI of Germany (1190–97) by bestowing
Sicily on
Tancred (1189–94). The crisis was acute when the Pope died, probably in the latter part of March 1191.

Papa Clemente III
Venne eletto
Papa il
19 dicembre 1187, e morì nel marzo 1191. Clemente riuscì, poco dopo la sua elezione, nel 1188, ad appianare le discordie che da mezzo secolo esistevano tra i Papi e i cittadini di
Roma, in virtù di un accordo, il "Patto di Concordia", in base al quale a questi ultimi veniva concesso il permesso di eleggere i propri magistrati, mentre la nomina del governatore della città rimase nelle mani del Papa. Incitò
Enrico II d'Inghilterra e
Filippo Augusto a partecipare alla
Terza Crociata, e introdusse diverse riforme minori su questioni ecclesisastiche.
