Editing Antipope Benedict X (section)

===Aftermath===

The most important consequence of these events was the adoption of [[In nomine Domini|new regulations]] for papal elections, laid out at a synod presided over by Pope Nicholas in the [[Lateran Palace]] at [[Easter]] 1059. It was attended by 113 bishops and other clergy. It limited the vote in a papal election to the cardinal Bishops, and the right of approval to the [[College of Cardinals]]. The imperial sanction, whether obtained before an election or after one, was eliminated.<ref name="Hefele1871">{{cite book|author=Karl Joseph von Hefele|editor=O.J.M.

Additionally, the diocese which Benedict had held as Bishop of Velletri was given in administration to the [[Bishop of Ostia]] in the bull of [[Pope Alexander II]] "Si Extraneis", dated 11 June 1065.<ref name="Borgia1723">{{cite book|author=Alessandro Borgia|title=Istoria della Chiesa, e citta di Velletri|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=fFhtCkyxrpgC|year=1723|publisher=per Antonio Mariotti|location=Nocera|language=Italian|pages=183–184}}</ref> Ca. 1150, [[Pope Eugenius III]] permanently combined the two dioceses into one.<ref>{{cite book|author=Paul Fridolin Kehr|title=Italia pontificia: Lativm|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=MoEzAQAAMAAJ|volume=II: Latium|year=1907|publisher=Weidmann|location=Berlin|language=Latin|pages=101–102}}: "...inde a saec.

Benedict X was considered a legitimate pope, not an anti-pope, down until the time of Pope Honorius III in the thirteenth century.<ref>Gregorovius, p. 112, note 2. His (imaginary) portrait was included in the gallery of the popes at the Basilica of Saint Paul outside-the-walls in Rome.</ref> The ''Liber Pontificalis'' assigns him a reign of eight months and twenty days, which would be 5 April to 24 December 1058.<ref>{{cite book|author=Louis Duchesne|title=Le Liber pontificalis|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=alU-AAAAYAAJ|volume=Tome II|year=1892|publisher=E.
