1700 conclave

Election of Catholic Pope Clement XI

The 1700 papal conclave was convened following the death of Pope Innocent XII. It ended in the election of Cardinal Giovanni Albani as Pope Clement XI. The conclave saw a rise in the dominance of a zelanti faction in the College of Cardinals. It remained deadlocked for a month until the death of the childless Charles II of Spain.
