Biography
Celestine III Orsini is Notable.
Giacinto Bobone was born about 1106. He was a member of the Orsini family of Rome and is sometimes called Bobo-Orsini.[1][2][3]
He was elected pope on 10 April 1191. However because he was a deacon and cardinal it was necessary that he be ordained a priest which took place on 13th April. He was then consecrated a bishop on 14 April 1191 taking the name Celestine III.[4][3]
He died on 8 January 1198.[4]
Research Notes
Removed "He was the son of Pietro Orsini" as Pietro Orsini was born the same year and therefore can not be his father. Not proof that he is the father has been provided. Also removed link to Pietro Orsini as father due to lack of proof.

Also the LNAB should be Bobone as there is significant proof of this. The Vatican records show this as do Wikipedia, Britannica and the Catholic Encyclopedia. See links in the Sources section.
