It elected Cardinal Angelo Correr, who under the name of Gregory XII became the fourth pope of the Roman Obedience.

Four of them were elevated by Urban VI, two by Boniface IX, and eight by Innocent VII.

Four cardinals, one created by Urban VI, one by Boniface IX and two by Innocent VII, did not participate in this conclave:[1] Fourteen cardinals present in Rome entered the conclave in Vatican[3] on November 18, twelve days after the death of Innocent VII.

Initially, all the electors subscribed the conclave capitulation,[3] in which each of them swore that, if elected, he would abdicate provided Antipope Benedict XIII did the same or should die; also, that he would not create new cardinals except to maintain parity of members with the Avignon cardinals; and that within three months he would enter into negotiations with his rival about a place of meeting.

Although he claimed the legality of his pontificate, nine years later he abdicated in the Council of Constance, making possible to restore the unity of the Roman Catholic Church.
