The papal conclave of 1513 elected Giovanni de'Medici as Pope Leo X to succeed Pope Julius II. ==Balloting== Twenty-five of the living thirty-two cardinals entered the conclave on March 3〔Roscoe, 1888, p. 295.〕 or March 4.〔Trollope, 1876, p. 180.〕 The first several days were spent on the drafting of a conclave capitulation, regulating the procedures of the conclave and agreeing on the benefices that would be granted to the various cardinals, including a payment of 1,500 ducats by whoever was elected, upon the completion of the election.〔 Among the conclavists was Giacomo di Brescia, the private physician required by Cardinal Medici; Giacomo, despite his plea, was not permitted to leave early once his services were no longer required.〔Trollope, 1876, p. 181.〕 The first scrutiny took place on March 10 after a ceremonial reading of Julius II's bull against simony.〔 The voting itself took place in the no longer extant chapel of S. Niccolo da Bari.〔Setton, 1984, p. 143.〕 As the ranking cardinal-deacon, Medici himself was charged with the counting of the ballots.〔Roscoe, 1888, p. 297.〕 Cardinal Serra received thirteen votes on the first ballot.〔 Although Pirie subscribes this outcome to chance (see below), Roscoe argues that Alborense had the support of the older cardinals, while the younger, and particularly the royal and noble cardinals supported Medici.〔 That night at dinner, Cardinal Medici and Cardinal Raffaele Riario (the two leading ''papabili'') were seen in closer conversation although no other observer was able to make out the subject.〔Trollope, 1876, pp. 181–182.〕 Even before the vote took place the next morning, a rumor spread among the cardinals as to the outcome of the conversation, and every other cardinal flocked to Medici's cell to congratulate him.〔Trollope, 1876, p. 183.〕 Trollope claims that every cardinal did such because "it is ill voting against a man to-day who is to be the despotic master of your fate and fortunes on the morrow".〔 Medici was unanimously elected on the first scrutiny in the morning.〔 A window which had been boarded closed for the conclave was smashed open and Cardinal Alessandro Farnese (future Pope Paul III) announced Medici by his chosen papal name, Leo X.〔 Florentine banker Filippo Strozzi the Younger accompanied Medici to Rome for the conclave; Strozzi's brother (a disciple of Savonarola) claimed that: "inasmuch as the latter aspired not without good reason to the Papacy, it was likely enough that he might have to vail himself of Filippo's credit".〔Trollope, 1876, pp. 183–184.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Papal conclave, 1513」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
