Ottobuono was a member of the Fieschi family of Liguria who were counts of Lavagna.[1]

Pope Clement IV sent him to England in 1265 to mediate between King Henry III and his barons. His sister Beatrice Fieschi married Thomas II of Savoy, cousin of Henry III's wife, Eleanor of Provence.[2] He was the papal legate to England between October 1265 and July 1268.

He was elected Pope on 11 July 1276. He died at Viterbo on 18 August 1276 from illness. He was never ordained to the priesthood. He was buried in the church of San Francesco alla Rocca.[1][3]

George Williams, Papal Genealogy: The Families and Descendants of the Popes (McFarland & Company: 2008), p 33, gives his dates as (1205-1276), his father as Teodisio, and shows his brother Niccolo having descendants down to the 16th century. It also shows Hadrian V a distant cousin of Robert of Geneva, who became antipope Clement VII in 1378.
