The papal conclave held after the death of Pope Leo XII on February 10, 1829 to elect his successor began on February 24, 1829. It took a long time to make a decision because of conflict between secular governments about who should be elected. Cardinal Emmanuele De Gregorio was the proposed candidate of the pro-French faction and the zelanti, whilst Bartolomeo Pacca was proposed by the more moderate cardinals but was not accepted by the French government of the Bourbon Restoration period. At the time France was governed by Charles X of France and Prime Minister Jean Baptiste Gay, vicomte de Martignac. Pacca was also seen as too gentle to be an effective Pope by many in the conclave.
