'Full of lively detail and colour' Literary Review


August 1559. As the long hot Italian summer draws to its close, so does the life of a rigidly orthodox and profoundly unpopular pope. The papacy of Paul IV has seen the establishing of the Roman Inquisition and the Index of Prohibited Books, an unbending refusal to open dialogue with Protestants, and the ghettoization of Rome's Jews. On 5 September 1559, as the great doors of the Vatican's Sala Regia are ceremonially locked, the future of the Catholic Church hangs in the balance.


Mary Hollingsworth offers a compelling and sedulously crafted reconstruction of the longest and most taxing of sixteenth-century papal elections. Its crisscrossing fault lines divided not only moderates from conservatives, but also the adherents of three national 'factions' with mutually incompatible interests. France and Spain were both looking to extend their power in Italy and beyond and had very different ideas of who the new pope should be as did the Italian cardinals. Drawing on the detailed account books left by Ippolito d'Este, one of the participating cardinals, Conclave 1559 provides remarkable insights into the daily lives and concerns of the forty-seven men locked up for some four months in the Vatican.

You get a lot for the price. And it fits. Recommended. It is a little noisier than the original bit functions are the same

Works great, easy to setup. It's my second unit for the basement level. Picks up all the fur from a large Rottweiler and a small Rat Terrier.

Not worth it
Style: L50 SES
Worked great for 5 months and then the WiFi connectivity stopped working rendering the vacuum useless. Because it’s refurbished it was past its warranty and the company refused to do anything about it other than offer a discount on a product that cost four times as much even after the discount.

Great vacuum, but it only works on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi
Style: L50 SES
I missed the last line on the description that states in only works on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. I have AT&T fiber and the router they installed only runs on 5.0 GHz. The vacuum still works, but without all of the fancy conveniences. Just be aware of this and if you are not familiar with what it means, check before you purchase one. This is the only reason I am giving it a 4 and not a 5. It is my fault for missing it, so just be aware.
