Urban II (
c. 1035–99), Pope from 1088. He was a monk of Cluny, called to Rome by
Gregory VII. On his election he was faced by an antipope, who was backed by the Emp.
Henry IV, and he could not at first enter Rome. In 1089 he held a Council at Melfi which promulgated canons against
simony, lay investiture, and clerical marriage, and in 1095 he held two Councils at Piacenza and
Clermont, also concerned with the reform of the Church. At Clermont the
‘Truce of God’ was proclaimed a law of the Church; Philip of France, who had put away his queen and remarried, was anathematized; and Urban launched the First
Crusade. He also tried to heal the E. schism. Feast day, 29 or 30 July.
