Temptemus Papam: The Papal Election of 1500
Date
Notes

Ran at the HRSFA Winter Party on the Jersey Shore.

Description

Rome, 1500. The election of a new pope. Over the past decades the Vatican sunk deeper and deeper into the clutches of corrupt families and manipulative kings. The throne of St. Peter is now a prize scrabbled over by Europe's pack of political wolves. And YOU can be one of them!

(HISTORICAL NOTE: There was no papal election in 1500, but this one is closely based on the real papal elections of 1492 and 1503, changing some details to combine the most corrupt and schemy elements of both.)
