Answer
Pope Urban IV preceded Pope Clement IV's papacy. Pope Clement IV, born Gui Foucois, served as the head of the Catholic Church from February 22, 1265, until his death in November 1268. His papacy was marked by various challenges, including tensions with the Hohenstaufen family, particularly with Manfred of Sicily. Pope Clement IV took significant steps to strengthen the papal authority and influence during his relatively short reign.
