Election of Lucius II Pope Celestine II died on 8 March 1144 at Rome, after a pontificate of only five months.Jaffé, II, p. 7 The election of his successor took place in the shadow of this municipal revolution, which opposed the secular rule of the Pope.Robinson, p. 78. Celestine II was unable to recover full control over the city of Rome; in addition he had to face also the demands of the king Roger II of Sicily.See Robinson, p. 387 This problem remained unresolved on his death, because he had refused to confirm the privileges granted to Roger by his predecessor Innocent II. The cardinals present at Rome elected Cardinal Gherardo Caccianemici, priest of the titulus of S. Croce in Gerusalemme and former canon regular of S. Frediano di Lucca. The details concerning the place of the election or the exact date of electoral proceedings are not registered.Jaffé, II, p. 7. Election in 1143 took place in the Lateran Basilica, in 1145 at the church S. Cesareo in Palatio. Since the elect was chancellor of the Holy See and close collaborator of both Innocent II and Celestine II, it may be assumed that the cardinals wanted to continue their policy, friendly towards the Empire and hostile towards the king Roger.Robinson, p. 387 The elect took the name Lucius II and received episcopal consecration on 12 March 1144.Robinson, p. 525; Jaffé, II, p. 7. Cardinal-electors There were probably 39 cardinals in the Sacred College of Cardinals in March 1144.Reconstruction is based on Brixius, p. 22 note 4 with the following corrections: Bishop Rodolfo of Orte has been excluded because he was not a cardinal at that time (Zenker, p. 52-53). Additionally, Brixius indicates that also Bernardo da Pisa, future Pope Eugene III, belonged to the College of Cardinals (similarly Zenker, pp. 184–187), but see M. Horn: Studien zur Geschichte Papst Eugens III. (1145–1153), Peter Lang Verlag 1992, pp. 42–45. Based on examination of the subscriptions of the papal bulls in 1144Jaffé, p.1 and 7 and the available data about the external missions of the cardinals, it is possible to establish that no more than 36 cardinals participated in the election: ElectorCardinalatial Title Elevated Elevator NotesCorrado Demetri della SuburraBishop of Sabina1113/14Paschalis IIDean of the College of Cardinals; future Pope Anastasius IV (1153–1154)Theodwin, O.S.B.Bishop of Santa Rufinaca. 1133Innocent IIAlberic de Beauvais, O.S.B.ClunyBishop of Ostia3 April 1138Innocent IIÉtienne de Châlons, O.Cist.Bishop of Palestrina21 February 1141Innocent IIImar, O.S.B.ClunyBishop of Tusculum13 March 1142Innocent IIPietroBishop of Albano17 September 1143Innocent IIGherardo Caccianemici, Can.Reg.Priest of S.
