Papal election, 1227

Papal election of March 19, 1227papal election convoked after the death of Pope Honorius III at Rome (March 18, 1227).

The cardinals present at Rome assembled in Septizonium on the next day after the death of Honorius III and decided to elect the new Pope by "compromissum", it means not by the whole Sacred College of Cardinals but by the committee of few of them, empowered by the rest to appoint the new Pontiff. The same procedure had been already used in the previous election. The committee numbered three cardinals, among whom were cardinal-bishops Ugolino di Segni of Ostia and Konrad von Urach of Porto (the name of the third one is not registered). Initially the committee elected its member Konrad von Urach with two votes out three, but he refused the tiara. Hereupon the rest of cardinals unanimously elected Ugolino di Segni (another committee member) on March 19, 1227. He reluctantly accepted the high honour, taking the name of Gregory IX [ [http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06796a.htm The Catholic Encyclopedia: Pope Gregory IX] ; and Gaetano Moroni, vol. XXXII p. 257 and vol. LXXXV, p. 261. Timo Bandhold, p. 9, says that only Konrad von Urach is known to have been a commitee member and the rest two members of that body are unknown] .

The new Pope received the pallium in the Vatican Basilica on March 21, 1227 and on the same day was enthroned in the Lateran Basilica. On April 11, 1227 his relative Ottaviano Conti di Segni, archdeacon of the Sacred College, solemnly crowned him in the Basilica di S. Maria in Maggiore [ [http://www.fiu.edu/~mirandas/bios1198.htm#Segni Salvador Miranda: Cardinal Ugolino dei conti di Segni (Pope Gregory IX)] ] .

Bourkle-Young: notes to the papal election of 1227 on [http://www.fiu.edu/~mirandas/conclave-xiii.htm#1227 The Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church (by S. Miranda)] ; and K. Eubel, p. 5 n. 5] indicate that eighteen out of nineteen living cardinals participated in this election:

Absentee cardinal

At least one cardinal was absent [Possibly the second absentee was Stephen Langton (see note above). Some sources indicate that there was also another one cardinal at that time, Siegfried von Eppstein (1165-1230), archbishop of Mainz, ostensibly created cardinal-priest of S. Sabina by Innocent III in 1206 or 1211, but he certainly did not participate in the election of Gregory IX, and several sources doubt that he was ever promoted to the cardinalate ( [http://www.fiu.edu/~mirandas/titles-4.htm#Sabina Title of S. Sabina (note 3)] ; K. Eubel, p. 5 n. 1)] :
