Presumed cardinals

In older literature ^[20] are mentioned also the following other cardinals ostensibly created by Lucius III, who, according to modern research should be eliminated from that list because there is no documentary proof of their promotion or they are confused with another cardinals: ^[21]

Name	Alleged cardinalate	Notes
Uberto Allucingoli, nephew of the pope	Cardinal-priest of S. Lorenzo in Damaso in 1182–ca.1185	He is confused with Uberto Crivelli, future pope Urban III, who occupied the title of S. Lorenzo in Damaso between 1182 and 1185 [22]
Raniero il Piccolo	Cardinal-priest in 1182, he was present at absolution of king William of Scotland [23]	He is the same as Raniero da Pavia, created cardinal-deacon of S. Giorgio by Alexander III and promoted to cardinal-priest of SS. Giovanni e Paolo by Lucius III [24]
Simeone Paltinieri	Cardinal-priest from 1182 or 1185 until 1200	No such cardinal is attested in the contemporary sources. [25] The cardinal with this name was actually created by Urban IV in 1261 and died in 1277 [26]
Giovanni	Cardinal-priest of S. Marco created in 1185, died under Urban III or Clement III	He is the same as cardinal Giovanni da Anagni, created by Adrian IV in 1158/59, who occupied the title of S. Marco from ca.1165 until 1190 [27]
