Pope Urban III died on this day in 1187, a date being remembered in posts marking historical anniversaries. Urban led the Catholic Church for under two years, during a period marked by conflict with Emperor Frederick Barbarossa and the mounting crisis in the Holy Land that would lead to the Third Crusade shortly after his death.
Why now: The anniversary of his death on today's date prompted history and travel enthusiasts to share stories about medieval popes.
