Papal conclave, 1655 edit

  • ... that during the 1655 papal conclave the younger cardinals played pranks on older cardinals for fun? Source: Offline source: Baumgartner p. 156

  • Newly promoted GA on the 23rd, verified against all other standards (though it being a GA makes it a tad easier on me); AGF on sourcing and phrasing, though judging by the careful editing before and during the GA nom this is very likely plagiarism-free. Hook is interesting -- perhaps it could be extended to note that one cardinal died of pneumonia following his colleagues' pranks. Dahn (talk) 08:33, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
