He was from Pisa, but probably studied in France, where he held the office of dean of the Church of Avranches . 1177 he was a unanimous vote of the Cathedral Chapter to Bishop of Dol-de-Bretagne selected, but the Archbishop of Tours denied him the episcopal ordination .

On the Friday of March 15, 1185, Lucius III raised him. the cardinal Deacon S. Maria in portico; as such he signed papal privileges from March 31, 1185 to September 21, 1187.
