  CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pope Blessed Eugene III
Eugene III without delay in St. John Lateran, and since residence in the rebellious city was impossible, the pope and his cardinals fled to the country.
That the Second Crusade was a wretched failure cannot be ascribed to the saint or the pope; but it is one of those phenomena so frequently met with in the history of the papacy, that a pope who was made to subdue a handful of rebellious subjects could hurl all Europe against the Saracens.
Eugene III "one of the greatest and most afflicted of the popes".

  Pope Alexander III - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frederick Barbarossa submits to the authority of Pope Alexander III (fresco in the Palazzo Pubblico in Siena, by Spinello Aretino).
On September 7, 1159 he was chosen the successor of Pope Adrian IV (1154–59), a minority of the cardinals, however, electing the cardinal-priest Octavian, who assumed the name of Victor IV (1159–64).
This antipope, and his successors antipope Paschal III (1164–68) and antipope Calixtus III (1168–78), had the imperial support; but after the defeat of Legnano (1276), Barbarossa finally (in the peace of Venice, 1177) recognized Alexander III as Pope.

The choice had not, however, the approval of Bernard, who remonstrated against the election on account of the "innocence and simplicity" of Eugene III; but after the choice was made he took advantage of the qualities in Eugene III which he objected to, so as to virtually rule in his name.
During nearly the whole of his pontificate Eugene III was unable to reside in Rome.
Though the citizens of Rome were jealous of the efforts of Eugene III to assert his temporal authority, they were always ready to recognize him as their spiritual lord, and they besides deeply reverenced his personal character.

 Medieval Spain: Lisbon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Born Bernardo Paganelli, Eugenius III was elected bishop of Rome in February, 1145, not long after the Muslim capture of Edessa.
In October, 1146, and again in April, 1147, Eugenius issued another crusading bull, Divina dispensatione, proclaiming that the battles against the pagans in north-central Europe and against the infidels in Spain were equal in merit to an armed pilgrimage to Jerusalem.
While there is no direct evidence of a connection between Eugenius and the attack on Lisbon, King Afonso Henriques of Portugal had sworn fidelity to the Roman papacy in 1143, and Eugenius was quick to approve of Lisbon's reestablishment as a bishopric after the city's capture in 1147.

He rose rapidly in the church during the pontificate of Pope Eugenius III and, during the reign of Pope Adrian IV, served as chief papal negotiator with Emperor Frederick Barbarossa.
The term aroused a storm of controversy with the imperial chancellor Rainald of Dassel, who argued that the term implied that the empire was a fief of the church and thus was an insult to the Emperor.
Following the return of Alexander III to Rome in 1165, which was the result of a more favourable political climate in Italy caused by the temporary absence of Frederick Barbarossa, the conflict entered its critical period.

 Copyright
In a decretal of Pope Eugenius III, we can already see aequitas as a canonical concept that could be substituted for misericordia or moderation as being the antithesis to rigorism in the interpretation of the canons.
Eugenius III, by referring to this imperial law as a rule of canon law, ignores totally the rule's legislative origin.
The principle of aequitas was also used by Pope Innocent III in 1202 to justify the possi [*101] bility of switching to a possessory action from a petitory action at any stage of a law suit.

Pope Sixtus V (1585-1590) limited the number of cardinals to 70, but rarely were there that many in office at any one time.
Pope Urban II (1088-1099), the Frenchman Eudes de Lagery, adopted as models procedures from Church and state: regulations from Cluniac monasteries and the administrative bureaucracy of the royal Capetian house's feudal holdings.
Nevertheless, it's clear that he held the relationship between a pope and his college of cardinals to be so close that each ought to consult with the other, for consultation among many renders better judgment, as is the case with an abbot and his monks or a bishop and the canons of his cathedral.

 Second Crusade - Psychology Central   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
The Second Crusade was announced by Pope Eugenius III, and was the first of the crusades to be led by European kings, namely Louis VII of France and Conrad III of Germany, with help from a number of other important European nobles.
Eugenius did not control Rome and lived instead at Viterbo, but nevertheless the crusade was meant to be more organized and centrally controlled than the First Crusade: certain preachers would be approved by the pope, the armies would be led by the strongest kings of Europe, and a route would be planned beforehand.
The bull was reissued on March 1, 1146, and Eugenius authorized Bernard to preach the news throughout France.

Pope Innocent II (1130-43) in the bull, 'Omne Datum Optimum', brought the Templars under papal authority, providing them with privileges and exemptions that made the Templars an autonomous corporate body and allowed them to secure an economic base for financing their military activities.
Pope Eugenius III authorised the Templars to add the red cross on the left breast of their tunics and the shoulder of their mantles, symbolising willingness to shed their blood and die for the Faith.

Eugenius had been a monk at Clairvaux and Bernard worried about his ability to cope with the change of lifestyle.
Eugenius had been accustomed to the contemplative life of a monastery, but he was suddenly required to devote much of his time to the administrative and political affairs of the papacy.
In De Consideratione, Bernard advised Eugenius to "set aside time for his spiritual life amidst the pressures of daily business." He believed that Eugenius, through consideration, or contemplation, could achieve a balance that allowed him to deal with the affairs of the church and satisfy his own spiritual needs.
