| | Pope Honorius IV Information |
 | | After the long deadlocked vacancy in the papal see after Clement IV's death, a vacant seat of three years, he was one of the six cardinals who finally elected Pope Gregory X (1271–76) by compromise on 1 September, 1271, in a conclave held at Viterbo because conditions in Rome were too turbulent. |
 | | In July, 1276, he was one of the three cardinals whom Pope Adrian V (1276) sent to Viterbo with instructions to treat with the German King, Rudolf I (1273–91), of the House of Habsburg, concerning his imperial coronation at Rome and his future relations towards Charles of Anjou, King of Sicily, whom papal policy supported. |
 | | When Martin IV (1281–85) died 28 March, 1285, at Perugia, Cardinal Savelli was unanimously elected Pope on April 2 and took the name of Honorius IV. |
