The 1143 papal election followed the death of Pope Innocent II and resulted in the election of Pope Celestine II.
Election of Celestine II
Pope Innocent II died on 24 September 1143, at Rome. During the first eight years of his pontificate he faced the
commune which rejected the secular rule of the Papacy in the Eternal City. The election of Innocent's successor took place in the shadow of this municipal revolution.[2]
The cardinals present at Rome assembled in the
Cardinal-electors
There were probably 30 cardinals in the Sacred College of Cardinals in September 1143.[6] Basing on the examination of the subscriptions of the papal bulls in 1143[7] and the available data about the external missions of the cardinals it is possible to establish that no more than 23 cardinals participated in the election:
