In the 13th century , it took almost three years — 1,006 days — to choose Pope Clement IV's successor.
The term conclave comes from "under lock and key," because cardinals who were meeting in Viterbo , north of Rome , took so long the town's frustrated citizens locked them in the room.
The cardinals sleep a short distance away in the nearby Domus Santa Marta hotel or a nearby residence.
Conclaves in the 16th and 17th centuries were described as “disgusting” and “badly smelling” Some of the electors left the conclave sick, often seriously.
The last time a pope was elected who wasn’t a cardinal was Urban VI in 1378 .
Pope John XII was just 18 when he was elected in 955 .
