Election of Adrian IV Pope Anastasius IV died on 3 December 1154 in Rome, at a very advanced age. The College of Cardinals assembled in Old St. Peter's Basilica on the next day to elect his successor. On 4 December 1154 the cardinals unanimously elected Cardinal-Bishop of Albano Nicholas Breakspeare, former legate in Scandinavia (1152–1153).Robinson, p. 78 He took the name Adrian IV and was crowned on 5 December 1154 in the Vatican Basilica. He is the only English pope in history.S. Miranda, Pope Adrian IV Cardinal-electors There were probably 30 cardinals in the Sacred College of Cardinals at the beginning of December 1154,Reconstruction based on Brixius, p. 23, with the following corrections based on Zenker, p. 48-52, 79-82, 104-106: cardinal-priest Gregorio of S. Maria in Trastevere and cardinal-bishop Gregorio of Sabina are actually one and the same person (Zenker, p. 48-52), cardinal-priests Giovanni Paparoni of S. Lorenzo in Damaso and Jordan of S. Susanna are excluded because they both appear to have died before the death of Anastasius IV (Zenker, p. 79-82, 104-106). but it seems that no more than 25 (perhaps even fewer) participated in the election: ElectorCardinalatial Title Elevated Elevator NotesImar, O.S.B.ClunyBishop of Tusculum13 March 1142Innocent IIDean of the Sacred College of CardinalsGuarino Foscari, Can.Reg.Bishop of Palestrina22 December 1144Lucius IICardinal-nephewNicholas Breakspeare, Can.Reg.Bishop of Albano16 December 1149Eugenius IIIElected Pope Adrian IVHugo, O.Cist.Bishop of Ostia e Velletri21 December 1151Eugenius IIIGregorio della SuburraBishop of Sabina1 March 1140Innocent IICencio de GregorioBishop of Porto e Santa Rufina2 March 1151Eugenius IIIGuido FlorentinusPriest of S.
