Cardinal <A HREF="bios1565.htm#Boncompagni">Ugo Boncompagni</A> 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.

(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. <CENTER><IMG SRC="bar149.gif" WIDTH="400" HEIGHT="3" ALT="Cool Archive"></CENTER> The following cardinals did not participate in the conclave: -<A HREF="bios1577.htm#Austria">Albrecht von Austria</A>. -<A HREF="bios1578-ii.htm#Quiroga">Gaspar de Quiroga y Vela</A>, archbishop of Toledo, Spain. -<A HREF="bios1583.htm#Castro">Rodrigo de Castro Osorio</A>, archbishop of Sevilla, Spain. -<A HREF="bios1583.htm#Bourbon">Charles III de Bourbon de Vendôme</A>, archbishop of Rouen, administrator of Bayeux, France. -<A HREF="bios1584.htm#Batory">Andrzej Batory</A>, bishop of Ermland, Prussia. -<A HREF="bios1586.htm#Lenoncourt">Philippe de Lénoncourt</A>. -<A HREF="bios1587-ii.htm#Gondi">Pierre de Gondi</A>, bishop of Paris, France. -<A HREF="bios1587-ii.htm#Loubenx">Hughes de Loubenx de Verdalle</A>, O.S.Io.Hieros. -<A HREF="bios1589.htm#Lorraine">Charles III de Lorraine-Vaudémont</A>, bishop of Metz, Lorraine, France. -<A HREF="bios1591-ii.htm#Sega">Filippo Sega</A>, bishop of Piacenza. <CENTER><TABLE BORDER=1 CELLSPACING=2 CELLPADDING=2 > <TR> <TD BGCOLOR=FFCC99><A HREF="#Top">Top</A></TD> <TD BGCOLOR=FFCC99><A HREF="conclaves.htm">Conclaves</A></TD> <TD BGCOLOR=FFCC99><A HREF="catalogs.htm">Catalogs</A></TD> <TD BGCOLOR=FFCC99><A HREF="cardinals.htm">Home</A></TD> <TD BGCOLOR=FFCC99><A HREF="insitesearch.htm">Search</A></TD> </TR></TABLE></CENTER></DIV> ©1998-2022 Salvador Miranda. </BODY></HTML>
