January 1119 CE
Gelasius holds a synod at Vienne in January 1119, and is planning to hold a general council to settle the investiture contest when he dies at Cluny on January 29.
Within four days, Guy de Burgundy, who was apparently made cardinal at some point by Paschal II, is elected Pope and is crowned at Vienne as Calixtus II.
At the outset, it appears that the new Pope is willing to negotiate with Henry V, who receives the papal embassy at Strasbourg, and withdraws his support from the antipope he had proclaimed at Rome.
It is agreed that pope and emperor should meet at the Château de Mousson, near Rheims.
