== Биография ==
Роден в [[Неапол]], той става [[монах]] и учи в [[Авиньон]]. На 21 Март 1364 той стават [[епископ]] на Ацеренза в Кралство Неапол. След смъртта на папа [[Григорий XI]] (1370–1378) римското общество отстоявало своето желание за [[папа]] с Римски произход и това напрежение се прехвърляло на кардиналите. Затова на 8 април 1378 Пригнано бил избран за папа и взел името Убран VI. Той бил последният папа, избран извън колегията на кардиналите. След [[конклава]]та повечето кардинали избягали от Рим преди народа да разбере, че те не били избрали римлянин.
Пригнано си извоюва репутация, градяща се на простота и пестеливост, дори строгост.
Той умира на 15 октомври 1389 г.
Born in Naples, he was a devout monk and learned casuist, trained at Avignon. On March 21, 1364, he was consecrated Archbishop of Acerenza in the Kingdom of Naples. He became Archbishop of Bari in 1377, and, on the death of Pope Gregory , the Roman populace clamorously demanding a Roman pope, and the cardinals being under some haste and pressure, Prignano was unanimously chosen (April 8, 1378) as acceptable as well to the disunited[1] French cardinals, taking the name Urban VI. He was the last Pope to be elected from outside the College of Cardinals. Immediately following the conclave most of the cardinals fled Rome before the mob could learn that not a Roman, but a subject of Joanna of Naples, had been chosen.
Prignano had developed a reputation for simplicity and frugality, even austerity, a head for business when acting Vice-Chancellor and a penchant for learning, and, according to Cristoforo di Piacenza,[2] he was without famiglia in an age of nepotism. His great faults undid his virtues: Ludwig Pastor summed up his character: "He lacked Christian gentleness and charity. He was naturally arbitrary and extremely violent and imprudent, and when he came to deal with the burning ecclesiastical question of the day, that of reform, the consequences were disastrous."[3]
