  Pope Clement IV - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Clement IV, who was in France at the time of his election, was compelled to enter Italy in disguise.
Charles allowed the Pope to be his feudal overlord (a bone of contention with the Hohenstaufen) and was crowned by cardinals in Rome, where Clement IV, permanently established at Viterbo, dared not venture, the Ghibelline party was so firmly in control.
Clement IV is said to have disapproved of the cruelties committed by his protegé, and there seems no foundation for the statement by Gregorovius that Clement IV became an accomplice by refusing to intercede for the unfortunate Conradin whom Charles had beheaded in the marketplace of Naples.

 Pope Urban IV - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Urban IV was the son of a cobbler of Troyes, France.
Italy commanded Urban IV's full attention: the long confrontation with the late Hohenstaufen Frederick II had not been pressed during the mild pontificate of Alexander IV, while it devolved into interurban struggles between nominally pro-papal Ghibellines and even more nominally pro-Imperial Guelf factions, in which Frederick II's heir Manfred was immersed.
Urban IV's military captain was the condottiere Azzo d'Este, nominally at the head of a loose league of cities that included Mantua and Ferrara.

 Pope Clement IV
Clement was kept busy reminding him of the terms of his treaty, reproving his excesses and those of his officials, and warning him that he was gaining the enmity of his subjects.
The fable that Pope Clement advised the execution of the unfortunate prince by saying "The death or life of Conradin means the life or death of Charles", is of a later date, and opposed to the truth.
Clement followed "the last of the Hohenstaufen" to the grave just one month later, leaving the papacy in a much better condition than when he received the keys of St. Peter.

 June 11th
Clement was an old soldier, and, however arbitrary he may have been in temper, he appears to have cared little for popular prejudices.
In 1266, the year after he became pope, he despatched a brief to Bacon, enjoining, not-withstanding the order of any ecclesiastical superior or any rule of his order to the contrary, that he should communicate to him a copy of the important work which had been the subject of their previous correspondence.
When, ten years afterwards, the persecuting general of the Franciscans became pope himself, under the name of Nicolas IV, Bacon still remained a close prisoner, and it was only, we are told, towards the close of Nicolas's life that some of his friends were able to exercise sufficient interest to obtain his freedom.

In 1996, Pope John Paul II reaffirmed Pope Paul VI’s 1970 decision that only the cardinals younger than 80 when the vacancy begins may vote for the new pope, and that 120 is the maximum number of electors.
The pope later wrote, “I also ask the one who is elected not to refuse, for fear of its weight, the office to which he has been called, but to submit humbly to the design of the divine will.
In the Introduction to this document, Pope John Paul II explained: “The reason for this provision is the desire not to add to the weight of such venerable age the further burden of responsibility for choosing the one who will have to lead Christ’s flock in ways adapted to the needs of the times.

 May 5 THE HISTORY OF THE MASS AND HOLY MOTHER CHURCH: (may5his.htm)
This handcuffed Pope Clement IV, successor to Pope Urban IV, who was embroiled between the bitter fighting in Italy between the Ghibellines - the faction of Italians and Sicilians who opposed the Pope, and the Guelfs - those loyal to Rome.
What Clement didn't realize was that, though he had eliminated one threat in Conradin, he had created a "monster" in the growing power of Charles of Angiou, who, because of his French blood, became more of an enemy to the Italians.
Clement had been corresponding with the Byzantine emperor Michael VIII Palaeologus in hopes of reconciling East and West, but Michael, who had taken Constantinople from the Latins, was playing his trump card and, worried that Charles would advance on his city to try to regain control, strung the Pope along.

Pope Urban IV (1261-1264), son of a shoemaker of Troyes, decided to commemorate his family and native city by constructing a large church in the latest gothic style on the very site of his childhood home.
Through unheard of insolence and arrogance against God and religious propriety, the abbess and nuns of the convent of Notre-Dame of Troyes vilely wished to demolish the new church of Saint-Urbain of Troyes which was built through privileges and subsidies from the Holy See.
However, the abbess and some nuns of the Benedictine convent of Notre-Dame of Troyes along with armed men — as the dean and chapter of Saint-Urbain related to me — surrounded the archbishop and prevented him from entering the church by closing the church doors, even though he was carrying out a papal mandate.
