abstract
  • Pope Gregory VIII (ca. 1100, Benevento, Italy – December 17, 1187, Pisa, Italy), born Albert de Mora, was Pope from October 25, 1187 until his death. Gregory VIII was a well-educated Beneventan noble who became a Cistercian monk at a young age. In 1172 he attended the council of Avranches as papal legate, which absolved Henry II of England (1154–89) from the guilt of the murder of Thomas Becket (1118–70). He was consecrated as Pope in place of Pope Urban III (1185–87) on October 25, 1187. His first act as Pope was to issue the papal bull Audita tremendi, which called for the Third Crusade in response to the Battle of Hattin earlier that year. Jerusalem itself had fallen in October, but news of this had not yet reached the Pope. Gregory VIII did not live to see the crusade, as he died of fever that same year. Pope Clement III (1187–91) was his successor.
