Pope election 1216
The election of the Pope in 1216 was the first conclave in the strict sense, as its participants were included. It started on the day of the death of Pope Innocent III. , July 16, 1216, and ended on July 18, 1216 with the election of Pope Honorius III.

Probably in order to prevent outside influence, the election began on the day of the Pope's death in the Palazzo delle Canoniche in Perugia . Here they were included by the population, which should shorten the electoral period. According to the electoral decrees In nomine Domini and Licet de vitanda , the Cardinals Ugolino dei Conti di Segni and Guido Papareschi were commissioned as stewards to draw up an election proposal. They presented Cardinal Cencio Savelli as a proposal, which the cardinals then voted for.
