He was then excommunicated by Pope Julius II on October 24, 1511 with the Cardinals Federico Sanseverino , Francesco Borgia , Guillaume Briçonnet and René de Prie and lost his cardinal title and all other titles. The council then met with the support of King Ludwig XII. of France and Emperor Maximilian I and declared Pope Julius II deposed. Carvajal took his place as Martin VI. a.

The French were defeated by the Holy League convened by Pope Julius . The Holy League was an alliance against France and was signed on January 20, 1511 between Pope Julius II, the Republic of Venice , Emperor Maximilian, Henry VIII of England , Ferdinand II of Aragon and the Swiss cantons .

In the conclave of 1513 Giovanni de ' Medici was elected Pope as Leo X. Carvajal and Sanserverino asked the Pope for forgiveness.

Forgiveness from the Pope

In the ongoing Lateran Council, the Pope accepted the apology. In the consistory of June 27, 1513, he was admonished about participating in the Council of Pisa and on the same day received all offices back that had not yet been assigned to another person. All rebel cardinals were awarded by Pope Leo X, except Cardinal Borgia, since he had since passed away. On January 14, 1521 he became Bishop of Plasencia . On the following August 5th he became Cardinal Bishop of Ostia and Velletri and Cardinal Dean . As such, he headed the conclave 1521–1522 , which Hadrian VI. elected to the Pope.

On September 26, 1522, Cardinal López de Carvajal was apostolic administrator of the Diocese of Foligno , which he left to his nephew Rodrigo in February 1523.
