Conrad of Urach was a 13th-century Cistercian monk, abbot, and cardinal who served as the Bishop of Porto and Santa Rufina. Born into the noble Zähringen line around 1170, he rose through the monastic ranks to lead the Cistercian order as the abbot of Cîteaux. He was a prominent papal legate, tasked with missions in France and Germany. He is most notably remembered for his humility, having declined an offer to become pope following the death of Honorius III in 1227.
