(Pius IV)
Paul IV died on August 18, 1559. Cardinal
Giovanni Angelo Medici was elected his successor on December 25, 1559 and took the name Pius IV. At the moment of
the Pope's death, the Sacred College of Cardinals had fifty-six members. Of them, however, four died during the sede vacante: Giovanni
Battista Coniglieri (August 25, 1559), Antoine Sanguin de Meudon (November 25, 1559),
Girolamo Recanati Capodiferro (December 1, 1559), and Girolamo Dandini
(December 4, 1559). Eight cardinals were absent altogether, including two of the four who died (Sanguin de Meudon and Dandini). One cardinal,
Giovanni Battista Coniglieri, died on August 25, 1559, before the conclave began. Cardinal
Gianantonio Capizucchi had to be absent from the conclave during the month of October 1559 due to a serious illness. One
cardinal died in the conclave: Girolamo Recanati Capodiferro (December 1, 1559). Two others,
Jean du Bellay and Giovanni Michele Saraceni, left the conclave early on
December 25, 1559, before the final vote was taken. Both knew that Cardinal Medici would be elected within a few hours, and neither thought his vote was necessary to the outcome. Of
the forty-four remaining cardinals in conclave on the morning of Christmas Day, forty-three voted for Cardinal Medici, who, of course, did not vote for himself. (Notes provided by
Dr. Francis A. Burkle-Young, author of Passing the Keys.)

(Pius V)
Pope Pius IV died on December 9, 1565. Cardinal Michele Ghislieri was elected his successor on January 7, 1566 and took the name Pius V. At the moment of the pope's death, the Sacred College of Cardinals had seventy members. The number of seventy potential Cardinal-electors on December 9 would be equalled only once in the next four centuries -- in the conclave of 1669 -- and would not be eclipsed until the conclave of 1963. Eighteen cardinals were entirely absent from the election. In addition, one cardinal died in the conclave, and two others attended the conclave but became ill and withdrew before the election. Consequently, forty-nine cardinals participated in the final ballot of the conclave. (Notes provided by Dr. Francis A. Burkle-Young, author of Passing the Keys.)

(Gregory XIII)
Pope Pius V died on May 1, 1572. Cardinal Ugo Boncompagni was elected his successor on May 13, 1572 and took the name Gregory XIII. It was the shortest conclave, for, apparently, only one ballot was taken, followed by one accessus. Conradus Eubel, et al., Hierarchia Catholica Medii et Recentioris Ævi, vol. III, Saeculum XVI ab anno 1503 Complectens (Monasterii: Sumptibus et Typis Librariae Regensbergianae, [1923]), 45 note 1, states that fifty-one cardinals voted at the election of Gregory. Verified data shows, however, that there were sixty-six living cardinals in this sede vacante, of whom only thirteen were absent from the conclave. It is possible that the discrepancy of two is simply a scribal error; or it may be that two cardinals -- including possibly Ugo Boncompagni himself -- did not cast votes in the balloting. Boncompagni, of course, would not have been counted in the accessus. (Notes provided by Dr. Francis A. Burkle-Young, author of Passing the Keys.)

Forty-two of the sixty cardinals participated in the conclave. The absence of thirty percent of the cardinalate makes this conclave one of the most sparsely attended in the history of the modern church.

(Innocent IX)
Pope Gregory XIV died on October 16, 1591. Cardinal Giovanni Antonio Facchinetti de Nucce was elected his successor on October 29, 1591 and took the name Innocent IX. During the ten-month reign of Gregory, four cardinals died: Antonio Carafa (January 13, 1591), Giovanni Antonio Serbelloni (March 18, 1591), Gian Girolamo Albani (April 25, 1591), and Ippolito de' Rossi (April 28, 1591).

(1) Entered the conclave on January 12, 1592.
(2) Eubel, Hierarchia Catholica Medii et Recentioris Aevi, III, 51 and 68, indicates that he died on February 7, 1592; and on p. 309, that he died on January 26, 1592, therefore during the conclave. According to Ludwig von Pastor, The History of the Popes from the Close of the Middle Ages, vol. XXII, Clement VIII (1592-1605), p. 10, n. 1, fifty-two cardinals entered the conclave and they "were the same as those who had taken part in the conclave of Innocent IX., of course with the exemption of himself, of V. Gonzaga, who
had died in the interval, and Giovanni Mendoza. Of those nominated by Innocent IX., Facchinetti was present, and Sega absent... On January 12, 1592, there also arrived Joyeuse, who took part in the scrutiny of the 13th..." He does not indicate that Cardinal Della Rovere died during the conclave. Neither does Gauchat, Hierarchia Catholica, IV, 3, in its chronicle of this conclave.
