1689 conclave
Election of Catholic Pope Alexander VIII
The 1689 papal conclave was convened after the death of Pope Innocent XI. It led to the election of Cardinal Pietro Vito Ottoboni as Pope Alexander VIII. The conclave saw the previous factions join together because they lacked numerical strength, and saw the rise of the zelanti as a political force in the election of the next pope.
