The papal conclave of 1492 (August 6 – August 11, 1492) convened after the death of Pope Innocent VIII (July 25, 1492), elected unanimously on the fourth ballot Cardinal Rodrigo Borja as Pope Alexander VI. The first conclave to be held in the Sistine Chapel, the election is notorious for allegations that the elect bought the votes of his electors, promising them lucrative appointments and other material gifts (simony). Concerns about this conclave led Pope Julius II to create stronger rules against simony in 1503.
