1119 papal election

The **1119 papal election** (from January 29 to February 2) was the smallest papal election by the Roman Catholic Church in the 12th century.

Only 2 cardinal bishops, 4 cardinal priests, and 4 cardinal deacons voted in this election. The election was in the abbey of Cluny in Burgundy, France. Most of the other cardinals were in Italy. Guy de Bourgogne, the Archbishop of Vienne, was not a cardinal. However, he was elected as Pope Callixtus II. The cardinals that voted decided to get approval by the cardinals in Rome before Guy became pope. The cardinals in Rome said that Guy could become pope. Therefore, on February 9, Guy became pope inVienne. The pope would only reach Rome on 3 June 1120.

## Cardinal electors

About 10 cardinals voted in the election. However, historians are not entirely sure.
