It was the second of three papal elections in 1276 following the conclave of 21–22 January and preceding the election in September.
Background
Pope Gregory X died on 10 January 1276 following a period of ill health.[1] During his papacy, Gregory had established Ubi periculum to speed up papal elections. As a result, the subsequent conclave of 21–22 January 1276 would be the first held under these rules.[2][3] Of the 13 cardinals present, Pierre de Tarentaise, the Cardinal-Bishop of Ostia e Velletri was elected as Pope Innocent V.[4] His papacy was shortlived as he died five months later on 22 June 1276.[1]
Election of Pope Adrian V
Of the 14 cardinals, 13 were present at the conclave. Only Simon de Brion, Cardinal-Priest of Santa Cecilia, was absent from the conclave. Present were João Pedro Julião, Cardinal-Bishop of Frascati; Vicedominus de Vicedominis, Cardinal-Bishop of Palestrina; Bertrand de Saint-Martin, Cardinal-Bishop of Sabina; Simone Paltanieri, Cardinal-Priest of SS. Silvestro e Martino; Ancher Pantaleon, Cardinal-Priest of S. Prassede; Guillaume de Bray, Cardinal-Priest of S. Marco; Riccardo Annibaldi, Cardinal-Deacon of S. Angelo in Pescheria; Giovanni Gaetano Orsini, Cardinal-Deacon of S. Nicola in Carcere Tulliano; Ottobono Fieschi, Cardinal-Deacon of S. Adriano; Giacomo Savelli, Cardinal-Deacon of S. Maria in Cosmedin; Goffredo da Alatri, Cardinal-Deacon of S. Giorgio in Velabro; Uberto Coconati, Cardinal-Deacon of S. Eustachio; and Matteo Rosso Orsini, Cardinal-Deacon of S. Maria in Portico.[4]
After nine days, Ottobuono Fieschi was elected as Pope Adrian V.[4]
Aftermath
Adrian V's papacy was even shorter than his predecessor's at just 38 days after he died on 18 August 1276. A subsequent election, the third in the year, was held in September 1276 to elect Pope John XXI.[4]
