Pope Urban II confirms to Pietro Badoer, the incumbent patriarch of Grado, the patriarchal dignity along with the right to bear the cross and pallium (narrative account from Andrea Dandolo’s Chronica per extensum descripta).

Source
The original charter is lost and the text does not survive in any manuscript tradition; this conferral of the pallium is known from later papal charters (e.g. doc. 1135_DG) and 14th-century chronicle penned by Andrea Dandolo:
Z = Venice, Biblioteca Marciana, ms. Zanetti, Lat. 400 (= 2028), fol. 108r; chronicle of Venice authored by Andrea Dandolo in 1340s, the Chronica per extensum descripta, of which this is the codex optimus.

<De Urbano IIo papa>

Victor papa ex veneno sibi in calice mixto obiit, et Urbanus secundus, nacione Francus, subrogatur. Fuit autem monacus et episcopus Hostiensis. Celebravit sinodum Placencie cum episcopis Galie, Lombardie et Tuscie, ubi inter cetera ordinaciones Guilberti irritavit, et VIIII prephacionibus Xa addita est: “Et te in veneracione beate Marie”; ubi Dominico1 patriarche sue sedis privilegia innovavit.a

1) Dandolo erroneously attributes this 1095 conferral of the pallium to Patriarch Domenico Cerbano (c. 1074–1077/84), who was indeed succeeded by Giovanni Saponario, as added on the right margin of the manuscript, but only sometime between 1077 and 1084. During the Synod of Piacenza of 1095, the incumbent patriarch of Grado was Pietro Badoer.

Editor's Notes

As is the case with Pope Alexander II’s conferral of the pallium to Patriarch Domenico Marango (doc. 1064_PG), this papal document also does not survive in any manuscript tradition, but it is referenced in all the subsequent papal charters confirming the right to don the pallium to the patriarchs of Grado.

It is clear that Andrea Dandolo did consult the text of the document; otherwise, he would not mistake the recipient of the pallium, who could at this point be only Pietro Badoer (1092–1104), with Domenico Cerbano.
