May 1605 papal conclave
In the papal conclave held from 8 to 16 May 1605 Cardinal Camillo Borghes was elected to succeed Leo XI as pope. Borghes took the name Paul V. This was the second conclave of 1605, with the one that had elected Leo XI having concluded just 37 days earlier. It is significant for having the only recorded case of an injury at a papal conclave, which was the result of a physical fight amongst the cardinals over who should be elected pope.
