Election of November 12, 1425
(Antipope Benedict XIV)

Pseudocardinal Jean Carrier, title of S. Stefano in Monte Celio, who was absent from the election of Antipope Clement VIII, decided, after consulting theologians and canonists, that that election was invalid because "it was done by liers, thieves and excomunicated persons" and declared that he alone had the right to fill the Holy See. Carrier gathered a notary and several witnesses in Armagnac, France, and designated pope Bernard Garnier, a sacristan of Rodez, France, and consecrated him. He took the name Benedict XIV. Shortly after his election this antipope disappeared from history and not even the date of his death is known. (Anselmo Gascón de Gotor, Pedro de Luna, el pontífice que no cedió.

Conclave of March 2 - 3, 1431
(Eugenius IV)

Pope Martin V died on February 20, 1431. Cardinal Gabriele Condulmer, Can. Reg. of Saint Augustine of S. Giorgio in Alga, was elected his successor on March 3, 1431 and took the name of Eugenius IV. During this sede vacante, there were some twenty-three men who were cardinals, but the College itself considered that it had a valid membership of nineteen. Juan Casanova, O.P., and Guillaume Raguenel de Montfort had been created without publication (an innovation of Pope Martin V). A third, Domenico Capranica, had been created and published a cardinal, but had not yet been received by the Sacred College of Cardinals. In addition, one other cardinal, Philip Repington, Can. Reg. of Saint Augustine, was in complete retirement in England, and had not been acknowledged as a member of the college since at least 1409. Consequently, the college itself considered that it had a valid membership of nineteen. Of the nineteen cardinals, six were absent entirely from the election. The remaining thirteen were the electors present in the conclave. (Notes provided by Dr. Francis A. Burkle-Young, author of Passing the Keys.)

Consecrated and crowned in Basel on July 24, 1440, he abdicated on April 7, 1449 and was created cardinal bishop of Sabina by Pope Nicholas V on that same day (or on April 23).
