Election of Pope Martin V

Election of Pope Martin V

The moment of decision in the papal conclave of 1417, as the cardinals cast their votes to elect Pope Martin V, ending the Western Schism that had divided the Church for nearly 40 years.

Setting

Konstanz Cathedral, interior of the grand nave during the papal conclave. The space is filled with ecclesiastical figures, cardinals in their vibrant robes, and the flickering light of candles casting long shadows on the stone walls.

TNGF
SELECTED
Pope Martin V
primary
A man in his late 40s with a robust but dignified build, his face marked by the wear of ecclesiastical responsibilities. His deep-set eyes convey wisdom, and his short-cropped dark hair is graying slightly at the temples. His posture exudes both humility and authority.
Cardinal Orsini
primary
A tall, imposing figure in his late 60s with a strong Roman nose and deep-set, piercing eyes. His silver hair is cropped short beneath his cardinal's hat, and his posture exudes both authority and weariness from the lengthy conclave.
Deacon
secondary
A middle-aged man of slender build with a clean-shaven face and short, dark brown hair. His deep-set brown eyes convey quiet devotion, and his hands are slightly calloused from years of handling sacred objects.
Cardinal Zabarella
secondary
A gaunt man in his late 60s with sharp, angular features and deep-set eyes that betray years of political calculation. His thin lips are pressed tightly together, and his pallid complexion suggests many sleepless nights during the conclave. His hands, though aged, remain steady—a testament to his disciplined nature.
Guard Captain
background
A middle-aged man with a sturdy, muscular build, standing at about six feet tall. His face is weathered from years of service, with a strong jawline and a neatly trimmed beard. His dark brown eyes are alert and focused, scanning the surroundings for any signs of disturbance.

Pope Martin V May He who has called this unworthy servant to the Chair of Peter grant me wisdom as Solomon, patience as Job, and the courage of Saint Peter himself.
Cardinal Orsini Venerable brothers, let us give thanks that after these forty years of tempest, the Barque of Peter finds its true helmsman at last.
