 | | Clement XIV, né Giovanni Vincenzo Antonio Ganganelli (SantArcangelo di Romagna, October 31, 1705 - Rome, September 22, 1774) was pope from 1769 to 1774. |
 | | He was elected Pope on May 19, 1769, after a papal election extremely agitated by the intrigues and pretensions of the Catholic sovereigns, who were resolved to exclude every candidate favourable to the Jesuits. |
 | | The claims that Clement XIV was poisoned were dismissed by those connected to him, and as the Annual Register for 1774 stated, he was over 70 and had been in ill health for some time. |
