Ubertino of Casale ( 1259 – 1329 ) was an Italian Franciscan and one of the leaders ( together with Michael of Cesena ) of the Spirituals, the stricter branch of the Franciscan order.

Therefore, Ubertino was summoned before Pope Benedict XI, forbidden to preach at Perugia and banished to the convent of Monte Alverna.

But this was absolutely denied, whilst on the other hand the question of practical observance of poverty was settled by the famous Bull, " Exivi de paradiso ", 6 May, 1312, partly called forth by the polemical writings of Ubertino.

Since Ubertino did not desist from involving himself in the conflicts among Franciscans, he was excommunicated in 1318.

In 1322, Ubertino was called back to Avignon by the Pope to give his opinion on a controversy between Dominicans and Franciscans concerning the poverty of Jesus Christ and the Apostles.

Ubertino remained in Avignon, in the service of Cardinal Orsini, until 1325, when he was accused of heresy for having defended the condemned opinions of his teacher Peter Olivi.

He also requested the opinion of Ubertino of Casale, a renowned Spiritual leader ( 1328 ), who, with a fine-spun distinction, declared on 28 March 1322 that Christ and the Apostles did possess property, inasmuch as they governed the Church, but not as individuals or as exemplars of Christian perfection.

This famous " Spiritualist excursus " is closely connected with the Appeal of Bonagrazia, and with writings of Ubertino of Casale and of Pietro di Giovanni Olivi.

Accompanying him were Ubertino of Casale, John of Jandum and Marsilius of Padua, the authors of the " Defensor pacis ", which declared that the emperor and the Church at large were above the pope.

* Ubertino da Casale ( 1259 – 1329 ), an Italian theologian

The dialogue between the narrator Adso and the old priest Ubertino, tell us the story of Fra Dolcino, leaving much to the imagination of the reader.

During his banishment, Ubertino wrote the Arbor Vitae Crucifixae Jesu Christi ( The Tree of the Crucified Life of Jesus ), exalting a literal interpretation of the Rule of St. Francis and the poverty of Christ.

In the book, Ubertino identified Pope Boniface VIII, another opponent of the Spirituals, and Benedict XI as the first and second beast of the Apocalypse.

In 1308, when Orsini went to Germany, Ubertino moved to France.

Ubertino stayed with Cardinal Giacomo Colonna until 1317, when Pope John XXII allowed him to leave the Franciscan order and enter the Benedictine Abbey of Gembloux, in the Diocese of Liège.

Ubertino asserted that Christ and the Apostles, though they had repudiated all property as private persons, made use of goods and money for necessaries and alms as ministers of religion.

While the Pope commanded the general of the Franciscans to have him arrested as a heretic, Ubertino probably went to Germany to seek the protection of Louis the Bavarian, whom he is said to have accompanied on his way to Rome in 1328.

Afterwards, Ubertino disappeared from the historical record.

Ubertino appears as a minor, yet important character in Umberto Eco's historical novel The Name of the Rose ( 1980 ), and its film adaptation, where Ubertino is played by William Hickey.
