Excerpt from The History of the Popes, From the Close of the Middle Ages, Vol. 31: Drawn From the Secret Archives of the Vatican and Other Original Sources, From the German of the Late Ludwig, Freiherr Von Pastor Shortly before the death of Innocent X. the Sacred College had reached its full complement of seventy members, but on November 25th, 1654, it suffered the loss of Cardinal Giovanni Battista Altieri. Of the remaining sixty-nine Cardinals, sixty-two were in Rome at the time of the Pope's death, seven were absent. These were: Cueva, Sandoval, Mazarin, Filomarino, Durazzo, Frederick of Hesse, and Harrach, but the four last-named reached Rome in time to take part in the conclave. Only two of the sixty-six electors, viz. Carlo Medici and Aloisi Capponi, dated from the reign of Paul V., whilst one half of the rest had been created by Urban VIII. and the remainder by Innocent X. The grouping of the parties resembled that of the last conclave. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
