1124 papal election: Teobaldo Boccapecci is elected the new Pope, three days after the death of Pope Callixtus II. Boccapecci takes the name Celestine II, but the Frangipani family attacks the investment ceremony and Boccapecci is injured. He resigns before being enthroned in order to avoid schism.

Election of Catholic Pope Honorius II

A papal election was held from 16 to 21 December 1124, after the death of Pope Callixtus II on 13 December 1124. The election was characterised by a power struggle between Italian cardinals supported by the Pierleoni family and northern cardinals supported by the Frangipani family. On 16 December the cardinals elected Theobaldo Boccapecci, the cardinal-priest of Sant'Anastasia. He chose the name Celestine II.
