Cardinal and papal legate, a member of the noble Uberti family of Florence, Italy. He became a Vallambrosan monk and abbot of San Salvio Monastery; eventually elected the general-superior of the congregation. In 1097, Bernard was made a cardinal by Pope Urban II and served as bishop of Parma, Italy. For supporting Pope St. Gregory VII, Bernard was driven into exile in 1104 by the followers of antipope Maginulf. When he protested the proclamation of Conrad II as king in Germany over the rightful Lothair, he again had to leave Parma. He died in his see on December 4, 1133.
