Editing Pope Lucius III (section)

==Early career==
A native of the city of [[Lucca]], he was born {{circa|1100}} (perhaps 1097) as Ubaldo, son of aristocrat Orlando Allucingoli.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.vatican.va/content/vatican/en/holy-father/lucio-iii.html| title = "Lucius III", The Holy See}}</ref>

He had close ties to the [[Cistercians]], but it seems that he never joined the order.<ref>{{cite web|authorlink=Salvador Miranda (historian) |last=Miranda |first=Salvador |title=  ALLUCINGOLI, O.Cist., Ubaldo (ca. 1097/1110-1185) |url=https://cardinals.fiu.edu/bios1141.htm#Allucingoli|work=The Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church |accessdate=December 29, 2019|publisher=[[Florida International University]]|oclc=53276621}}</ref><ref>; I.

Under [[Pope Eugene III]] he served as legate to Sicily, and in January 1159 [[Pope Adrian IV]] promoted him to [[Roman Catholic Suburbicarian Diocese of Ostia|Cardinal Bishop of Ostia and Velletri]].<ref name=ott>[http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09412b.htm Ott, Michael.

In 1177 Allucingoli took part in the negotiation of the [[Treaty of Venice]] where an agreement was reached between Alexander III and [[Frederick I, Holy Roman Emperor|Emperor Frederick I]] who had been excommunicated for his support of the successive antipopes [[Antipope Victor IV (1159–1164)|Victor IV]], [[Antipope Paschal III|Paschal III]] and [[Antipope Callixtus III|Callixtus III]].<ref name=ott/> Allucingoli then served as a member of the court of arbitration regarding the ''[[Terre Matildiche]]'', (lands formerly held by the late [[Matilda of Tuscany|Countess Matilda of Tuscany]] to which the Church and the Emperor both laid claim), but which reached no definite conclusion.
