Bartolomeo Prignano
Bartolomeo Prignano, also known as Pope Urban VI, was an Italian cleric who became Pope in 1378. His election marked a significant moment in the history of the papacy, as he was the last pope to be chosen outside the College of Cardinals. Prignano's papacy was notable for its tumultuous political environment and internal conflict, which ultimately led to the Western Schism, a period where multiple claimants to the papacy emerged. Despite the challenges he faced, Urban VI's reign lasted until his death in 1389, leaving a lasting impact on the Catholic Church's governance.
