Discussione:Conclave del 1303
Place of Conclave (please translate into Italian)[modifica wikitesto]
Baumgartner is wrong. He has misread one of the sources, which says that Boniface, in returning to Rome from Anagni, was met by the Orsini and escorted first to the Lateran (one would have to go past the Lateran on the direct route anyway) and then to the Vatican. He died in the Vatican (according to his nephew, Cardinal Stefaneschi), and the rules of Gregory X, which were back in force, required that the Conclave be held in the palace where the Pope died.Vicedomino (talk) 08:47, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
It occurs to me that Charles I did supervise a Conclave in the Lateran Palace (not Basilica), and used his power as Governor of the Conclave in an abusive way to get his candidate elected. But this was in July of 1276, and the candidate was Ottobono Fieschi who became Adrian V. I am recommending that the sentence about Charles and the Conclave in the Lateran Basilica be deleted.
