Rome was the ideal place for the election, but if circumstances did not permit for them to vote in Rome, the cardinals were allowed to assemble and elect the new pope anywhere.

The endorsement required the agreement not only of the cardinals but also of the rest of the Roman clergy and the laity.

After they have chosen a pope-elect, this was followed by an endorsement by the cardinal priests and cardinal deacons.

The candidate should be chosen within the Roman clergy, but if they can’t find a suitable candidate, the Cardinals were allowed to elect one from another church.

Only the cardinal bishops were allowed to elect the pope (this was done so as to prevent bribery and simony).

He had the backing of Hildebrand of Sovana (future Pope Gregory VII), the Holy Roman Emperor Henry III, and other Italian nobles who had him escorted by their own troops when he entered Rome on January 24, 1059.
