Pope Gregory X
Pope Gregory X, who reigned from 1271 to 1276, is best known for initiating the reforms that significantly influenced the papal election process, particularly the establishment of the conclave as a means to elect a pope. His papacy was marked by efforts to restore order within the Church and to address the issues of the time, including the ongoing conflict between the papacy and the Holy Roman Empire. Gregory X was also notable for his efforts in promoting the Crusades and seeking to unite the Eastern and Western branches of Christianity.
