Conclave 1362
The conclave of 1362 elected Guillaume de Grimoard pope, he took the name Urban V ; he succeeded Pope Innocent VI. in the Palais des Papes of Avignon in the Avignon Papacy .
choice
Twenty cardinals entered the conclave on September 2nd ; the group consisted roughly of a French and a Gascognischen fraction (the latter as subjects of the English king in his capacity as Duke of Aquitaine ). Eleven or twelve of them came from the Limousin , including three cardinal nephews of Innocent VI. and six nephews of Clement VII.
After six days, the cardinals agreed on the election of Cardinal Hugues Roger , one of Clement VI's nephews, who rejected the election with vague words (in contrast to many popes who pretended to reject it and then accepted it shortly afterwards). Then Cardinal Raymond de Canillac (another relative of Clement VI) ran for election, but was unable to get the required majority behind him.
It became clear that none of the cardinals would get a two-thirds majority , so the conclave's gaze turned to people outside the college of cardinals . Disagreements continued until October 28, when the cardinals agreed on Abbot Guillaume de Grimoard, Apostolic envoy to the Kingdom of Naples, who was then residing in Florence .
Five years after his election, Urban V finally bowed to strong pressure from all directions and on October 16, 1367, moved the Pope's seat back to Rome. However, Urban V. returned to Avignon three years later, on August 26, 1370. He died in December of that year.
