## Bio

Born Bernardo around 1080, likely in Pisa, he rose through the austere Cistercian order before his election as pope on 15 February 1145. Within months of taking office, news arrived that Edessa had fallen to Muslim forces in 1144, and Eugene issued the call for what became the Second Crusade. He ruled the Papal States and led the Church through eight years of that conflict and its aftermath. He died on 8 July 1153, and in 1872 Pope Pius IX beatified him.
