Gregory X,
pope from
1271 to
1276, succeeded
Clement IV after the papal chair had been three years vacant; his election occurred while he was engaged in a pilgrimage to
Saint Jean d'Acre[?]. On his arrival at
Rome his first act was to summon the council which met at
Lyons in
1274 for the purpose of considering the
Easter schism[?], the condition of the
Holy Land, and the abuses of the
Catholic Church. It was while returning from that council that he died at
Arezzo on the
January 10,
1276. To him is due the bull which, subsequently incorporated into the code of canon law, continues to regulate all conclaves for
papal elections[?]. He was succeeded by
Innocent V.
