September 1087 CE

Desiderius has himself carried into the chapter-house, issues various decrees for the benefit of the abbey, appoints with the consent of the monks the prior, Cardinal Oderisius, to succeed him in the abbacy, just as he himself had been appointed by Stephen IX, and proposes Odo of Ostia to the assembled cardinals and bishops as the next pope.

He dies on September 16, 1087 and is buried in the tomb he had prepared for himself in the abbey's chapter-house.

His successor is Pope Urban II.
