July 1691 CE

Alexander XIII has initiated measures that lead eventually to a solution of the disputes between the papacy and Louis XIV of France.

Alexander maintains the condemnation of the Gallican Articles of 1682, which restrict papal authority, and opposes Jansenism.

Known also for his blatant nepotism and worldly outlook, he had died on February 1, 1691.

Antonio Pignatelli, who had been made cardinal in 1681 by Pope Innocent XI, emulates his patron’s pontificate after being elected pope on July 12 as Innocent XII.
