Pope Innocent XI
Election to the Papacy
Odescalchi was a strong candidate for the papacy after the death of Clement IX in 1669, but the French government rejected him. After Clement X's death, Louis XIV of France again intended to use his royal influence against the election of Odescalchi. Instead, seeing that the cardinals as well as the Roman people were of one mind in their desire to have Odescalchi as their pope, he reluctantly instructed the cardinals of the French party to acquiesce in his candidacy. On September 21, 1676, he was chosen Clement's successor.
