 Pope Gregory X
The cardinals assembled at Viterbo were divided into two camps, the one French and the other Italian.
In the summer of 1270 the head and burgesses of the town of Viterbo, hoping to force a vote, resorted to the expedient of confining the cardinals within the episcopal palace, where even their daily allowance of food was later on curtailed.
Receiving a summons from the cardinals to return immediately, he began his homeward journey on 19 November, 1271, and arrived at Viterbo on 12 February, 1272.

Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni is shown wearing a crimson biretta (hat) and robe, the cardinal dress of the Roman Catholic Church.
However, the cardinal seems to be holding the letter up higher than seems natural: perhaps to indicate that he is reading it, perhaps to highlight its importance by contrasting it against the fl background, or perhaps to create a more dynamic composition.
Cardinals are nominated by the Pope, leader of the Roman Catholic faith, and make up the Pope’s Council, electing a new Pope when a vacancy occurs.

This was a telling blow; and it gained force when all the other cardinals set their signatures to a special statement which told the story of the conclave that elected Boniface, and declared that they wholly concurred in the excommunication of the rebels.
The cardinal explained that the Ausculta Fili was the outcome of many weeks' deliberation between the pope and the cardinals, and he denied absolutely the interpretation put upon it in France.
The cardinals sent a written reply to the letter from the nobles and in it they severely reproved their neglect to give the pope his proper style, and their reference to him by "an unwonted and insolent circumlocution".

After the death and funeral of Clement XII, the cardinals, to the number of thirty-two, entered into conclave with the intention of giving the tiara to Cardinal Ottoboni, dean of the Sacred College; but an opposition was raised on account of the cardinal being protector of France.
Meanwhile Cardinal Ottoboni died, and other cardinals arriving, the conclave consisted of fifty-five, of whom forty-six were Italians.
The cardinal lost in that archdeacon a noble ornament of the Church, and a man very serviceable to the poor; and he solicited Benedict to decree that thenceforth no priest, without the knowledge and consent of his ordinary, could enter the regular orders.
