1191 papal election

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Papal election
1191
Dates and location
21 March 1191
Rome
Key officials
ProtodeaconGiacinto Bobone
Elected pope
Giacinto Bobone
Name taken: Celestine III
1198 →

The 1191 papal election took place after the death of Pope Clement III. Pope Clement, according to differing and irreconcilable reports, died in March 1191, in the last third of the month, on the 20th, the 25th, the 26th, the 28th, or perhaps 2 April or 4 April, or 10 April.[1] The election was conducted during the march of King Henry VI and his army toward Rome. The 85-year-old Cardinal Giacinto Bobone, a member of the Orsini family, was chosen after some extreme reluctance. He took the name Celestine III. Pressed by the Romans, however, he agreed to negotiate with King Henry about his coronation as emperor and about the possession of the city of Tusculum. Celestine postponed his own consecration in order to buy time to negotiate. He was finally crowned on Easter Sunday, 14 April 1191.

Death of Clement III

King Henry crossed into Italy in mid-winter, and was in Bologna by 11 February 1191; on 22 February he was at Lucca, and on the 26th at Pisa.[2] He had sent representatives (nuntios) to Pope Clement, and to the cardinals and the senators of Rome, requesting his coronation and promising that he would in all matters preserve unharmed the laws and dignities of the Roman people. Henry intended to march into south Italy and claim the kingdom of William II of Sicily for his wife and himself, and, since the kingdom of Sicily was a papal fief, Henry needed the active cooperation of the pope.

In March 1191, Henry and his army were in Tuscany. Two cardinals had been sent by the pope to negotiate with him, Petrus Gallocia the Bishop of Porto and Petrus the Cardinal priest of S. Pietro in Vincoli.[3] Before he died, Clement had agreed to the demand of Henry VI for an imperial coronation in Rome at Easter.[4] The Roman leaders were not impressed by Clement's promises, since he had promised them at the beginning of his reign that he would hand over Tusculum to them, and had yet to do so.[5]

Clement's latest known dated bull was signed on 20 March 1191.[6]

Pope Clement III died on 20 March 1191.[7]

Cardinals

The sources do not mention any of the cardinals who elected Cardinal Giacinto of S. Maria in Cosmedin. A list must be constructed by deduction and inference. The cardinals who subscribed documents for Clement III is far smaller than the total number of cardinals alive at his death.

New cardinals

Pope Clement III (1187–1191) had appointed 25 or 26 cardinals:[8]

At least 18 of Pope Clement's appointees were Italians, and 11 of the appointees were native Romans.

Likely attendees

A beginning on the list of cardinals who may have attended the election of March or April 1191, in addition to some or all of the new cardinals, may be derived from a privilege granted by Pope Clement III to the monastery of Compiègne on 17 February 1191, about five weeks before his death.[28] Eighteen cardinals who subscribed the document were:

  • Octavianus, Hostiensis et Velletrensis episcopus.
  • Joannes Anagninus (Giovanni dei Conti di Anagni), Prenestinus episcopus.[29]
  • Petrus, Portuensis et Sancte Rufine epsicopus.
  • Pandulfus, presbiter cardinalis basilice duodecim Apostolorum.[30]
  • Petrus, presbiter cardinalis Sancti Petri ad Vincula, tituli Eudoxie.[31]
  • Johannes Felix, tituli Sancte Susanne, presbiter cardinalis.
  • Rufinus, tituli sancte Praxedis cardinalis, Ariminensis episcopus.[32]
  • Romanus, Sancte Anastasie presbiter cardinalis.[33]
  • Guido, ecclesie Sanctae Marie Trans-Tiberim, olim Fundentis, tituli Calixti presbiter cardinalis.
  • Hugo, presbiter cardinalis tituli Sanctorum Silvestri et Martini, tituli Equitii.
  • Johannes, tituli Sancti Stephani in Celio Monte presbiter cardinalis.
  • Cinthius, presbiter cardinalis tituli Sancti Laurentii in Lucina.
  • Bernardus, Sancte Marie Nove diaconus cardinalis.
  • Gregorius, Sancti Georgii ad Velum aureum diaconus cardinalis.
  • Lotharius, Sanctorum Sergii et Bachi diaconus cardinalis.
  • Nicholaus, Sancte Lucie diaconus cardinalis.
  • Gregorius Sancti Angeli diaconus cardinalis.
  • Egidius, Sancti Nicholai in carcere Tulliano diaconus cardinalis.

Election

Ralph of Diceto, Dean of London, indicates that there was dissension among the cardinals:[45] The fear was that it might lead to schism among them, and it was only with that consideration that the senior cardinal deacon, Iacintus, agreed to his election to the papal throne.[46] The disagreement was undoubtedly over the agreement made by Henry VI and Clement III, that Tusculum would be handed over to the Romans, an abandonment of longstanding papal policy fortified by treaty.[47] The Continuator of Sigebert of Gembloux remarks on both the dissension and the duplicity among the Romans and the cardinals.[48]

Cardinal Iacintus took the name Celestine III.[49]

When Pope Celestine saw King Henry approaching, he put off his own consecration in order to postpone Henry's.[50]

After the election, and before King Henry could draw near Rome, the Roman leaders petitioned Pope Celestine not to anoint and crown Henry emperor until the Pope should obtain agreement from him that the city of Tusculum would be turned over to them. The city had been placed in Pope Clement's custody, but the Tusculans had turned to the king and invoked his patrocinia. The Romans vigorously pressed (instantissime proponentes) on the pope that this was the way to get Tusculum into Roman hands, as the previous agreement had specified. Celestine agreed to their proposal. He immediately sent negotiators (nuntios) to the king, who firmly proposed to him that, in the light of the previous agreement between the pope and the Romans (at the beginning of Clement's reign), it was necessary for Tusculum to be handed over to the pope by the king.[51]

On Holy Saturday, 13 April, Celestine III was proceeding from the Lateran palace to St. Peter's, where he would be consecrated the next day. He came face to face with King Henry and Queen Constanza and an armed group of people. The Romans had closed the gates of the city and were heavily guarding them, keeping the imperial party from entering.[52]

Celestine III (Giacinto Bobone) was ordained a priest on Holy Saturday, 13 April 1191; he was consecrated a bishop and enthroned on Easter Sunday, 14 April 1191. His consecrator was Cardinal Octavianus de Poli, Bishop of Ostia.[53]

Thanks to the pact made between Henry VI and Celestine III, the city of Tusculum was attacked by the Romans, and completely destroyed on 17 April 1191.[54]
