The conclave to elect a new Pope concludes at the Apostolic Palace, with only 19 of the 27 members of the College of Cardinals participating. One of the electors, Cardinal Domenico Capranica appeared to be the most likely choice for Pope, but had died suddenly on August 14, two days before the conclave opened. On the first ballot on August 18, no candidate had more than five votes, but by the next day, Cardinal Enea Piccolomini, Archbishop of Siena, receives unanimous support after initially competing against Guillaume d'Estouteville and Filippo Calandrini. Piccoloni takes the name Pope Pius II as the 210th pope.

Election of Pope Pius II

The 1458 papal conclave, convened after the death of Pope Callixtus III, elected as his successor Cardinal Enea Piccolomini, who took the name Pius II.
