Anselm III (Italian: Anselmo da Rho) was the archbishop of Milan from his consecration on 1 July 1086 to his death on 4 December 1093.
He reestablished order in the Ambrosian see after more than a decade of fighting between the pataria and the religious authorities and confusion over the succession to the bishopric.
He was the last imperially-appointed bishop in Milan and originally opposed to the Gregorian reforms in order to maintain the integrity of the historical Milanese independence of the Holy See.
The Milanese citizenry strongly opposed the imperial pretensions of and agitated for Conrad the Emperor's son as their own king.
Anselm duly crowned Conrad King of Italy in opposition to his father first at Monza then at Milan.
