Conclave of July 10 (or 17), 1304 - June 5, 1305
(Clement V)

Pope Benedict XI died on July 7, 1304, after a reign of little more than eight months. After nearly a year of dispute, the cardinals, gathered at Perugia, chose Bertrand de Got, the archbishop of Bordeaux and the younger brother of Cardinal Bérard de Got, by then deceased, as pope on June 5, 1305. He took the name Clement V. During this time, there were nineteen living valid cardinal-electors. Four of them were absent from the conclave. Two other cardinals, the uncle and nephew, Giacomo Colonna and Pietro Colonna, had been deposed by Pope Boniface VIII and enjoyed no rights as electors. Both were restored to the cardinalate by Pope Clement V. Of the fifteen cardinals-electors, ten of them, precisely two-thirds, voted for Archbishop de Got, who became the fourth of the six non-cardinals elected pope in the Later Middle Ages. (Notes provided by Dr. Francis A. Burkle-Young, author of Passing the Keys.)

Conclave of May 1, 1314 - August 7, 1316
(John XXII)

Pope Clement V died at Rocquemaure-en-Gard, France, on April 20, 1314. The electoral meeting took place in the Dominican house at Lyons, where on August 7, 1316, Cardinal Jacques d'Euse was elected and took the name John XXII. At the moment of Pope Clement V's death, there were twenty-four living cardinals and all of them participated in the election. The vacancy of a little less than two years and four months was prolonged because the cardinals in this election grouped themselves into three parties, each of which had aims inimical to the other two. The Italian party of eight cardinals (Napoleone Orsini, Niccolò Alberti, Giacomo Caetani Stefaneschi, Francesco Caetani, Guglielmo de Longhi, Luca Fieschi, Pietro Colonna and Giacomo Colonna) was committed to returning the papacy to Italy as quickly as possible. The Gascon party of ten cardinals, made up of relatives and close associates of Clement V (Arnaud de Pellegrue, Arnaud de Falguières, Arnaud Nouvel, O.Cist., Guillaume Teste, Raymond Guillaume des Forges, Bernard de Garves, Arnaud d'Aux, Vital du Four, O.F.M., Raymond, O.S.B., and Guillaume Pierre Godin), wished to retain the very considerable power they had acquired under the malleable Clement. The French or Provencal party of six cardinals (Bérenger de Frédol, seniore, Bérenguer de Frédol, iuniore, Michel du Bec-Crespin, Nicolas de Fréauville, O.P., Guillaume de Mandagot, Can. Reg. of Saint Augustine, and Jacques d'Euse) stood in the middle -- they neither desired to see the Gascons retain power nor did they wish to see a speedy return to Italy. (Notes provided by Dr. Francis A. Burkle-Young, author of Passing the Keys.)

Note that nearly half of the cardinals came from the large creation of Clement VI on December 17, 1350.

Twenty four of the twenty five living cardinals participated in the conclave, which took place in Avignon. (Notes provided by Dr. Francis A. Burkle-Young, author of Passing the Keys.)

Conclave of September 22 - 28, 1362

Pope Innocent VI died on September 12, 1362. Cardinal Hugues Roger, O.S.B., received fifteen of twenty votes but declined the election because of advanced age.

The election took place while the abbot was in Naples as papal legate. It took him five weeks to reach Avignon and be crowned on November 6, 1362. He was the fifth of six non-cardinals to be elected in the Later Middle Ages. All twenty living cardinals participated in the conclave, which took place in Avignon. (Notes provided by Dr. Francis A.

Conclave of April 7 - 9, 1378
(Urban VI)

Pope Gregory XI died on March 26, 1378, in Rome. The ensuing election was one of the most tumultuous in the history of the Church. The Roman mob besieged the conclave. They demanded that the cardinals elect a Roman pope, or, at least, an Italian one. Finally, on April 8, 1378, the second day of the conclave, the sixteen electors chose Bartolommeo Prignano, archbishop of Bari, who became Urban VI. He was the sixth and last non-cardinal to be elected pope. During the sede vacante, there were twenty-three active, living cardinals. Two others, Pietro Tornaquinci and Pietro Tartari, were said by some secondary sources to have been elevated to the Sacred College -- but, if they were, they never played an active role in the College or Church government, and were never accepted into the College. Their names are omitted from the list below. Six members of the College were at Avignon during the entire vacancy. One other cardinal, Jean de la Grange, O.S.B., was absent, as well. Sixteen cardinals took part in the conclave. This was the first conclave to meet in Rome since 1303. (Notes provided by D. Francis A. Burkle-Young, author of Passing the Keys.)

Conclave of September 20, 1378
(Antipope Clement VII)

Pope Urban VI soon proved to be a suspicious and capricious pope. The members of the Sacred College, some perhaps in fear for their lives, gradually slipped away from Urban's court and reunited at Anagni. These cardinals were French, but soon afterward they were joined by the Italian cardinals, as well. The College moved on to Fondi, where it received a letter from Charles V of France on September 18, 1378, which urged them to move forward to choose another pope. This they did, when thirteen of them elected Cardinal Robert de Genève as Clement VII on September 20, 1378. The number of valid cardinals had been reduced to twenty-two by the death of Francesco Tebaldeschi on September 6/7, 1378. All these cardinals eventually adhered to Clement's cause, but his electors are marked (elector) beside their names. Those marked (present) observed but did not vote. (Notes provided by Dr. Francis A. Burkle-Young, author of Passing the Keys.)

Conclave of October 25 - November 2, 1389
(Boniface IX)

Pope Urban VI died on October 15, 1389. Cardinal Pietro Tomacelli was elected his successor on November 2, 1389 and took the name Boniface IX. At this time, no cardinals who had been created before Urban VI recognized him as pope. Consequently, all the electors were creations of the pope who had just died -- the only time in history in which this came to pass. Pope Urban was survived by twenty of his creations, but he already had deposed five of them ---Pietro Pileo di Prata, bishop of Frascati; Adam Easton, O.S.B., title of S. Cecilia; Galeotto Tarlati de Petramala, deacon of S. Agata in Suburra; Bartolomeo Mezzavacca, title of S. Marcello; and Landolfo Maramaldo, deacon of S. Nicola in Carcere Tulliano-- so this sede vacante had fifteen valid cardinal electors. Thirteen of them participated in the election and two were absent. (Notes provided by Dr. Francis A.
