==Retirement, death, and canonization== [[File:Papa Celestino V 01.jpg|thumb|left|Tomb of Celestine V]] The former Celestine, now reverted to Pietro Angelerio, was not allowed to become a hermit once again. Various parties had opposed his resignation and the new [[Pope Boniface VIII]] had reason to worry that one of them might install him as an [[antipope]]. To prevent this, he ordered Pietro to accompany him to Rome. Pietro escaped and hid in the woods before attempting to return to Sulmona to resume monastic life. This proved impossible, and Pietro was captured after an attempt to flee to [[Dalmatia]] was thwarted when a tempest forced his ship to return to port. Boniface imprisoned him in the castle of Fumone near [[Ferentino]] in [[Lazio]], attended by two monks of his order, where Pietro died after 10 months at about the age of 81. His supporters spread the allegation that Boniface had treated him harshly and ultimately executed Pietro, but there is no clear historical evidence of this.<ref>Gregorovius, Ferdinand (1906). ''History of the City of Rome in the Middle Ages'' vol. 5 part 2</ref> Pietro was buried at Ferentino, but his body was subsequently moved to the Basilica of [[Santa Maria di Collemaggio]] in [[L'Aquila]].<ref>[https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/252083/saint-celestine-v-and-the-catholic-churchs-first-jubilee Brockhaus, Hannah.

The latter signed a decree of dispensation on 13 May 1306 to investigate the nomination.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.isernianews.it/cultura-spettacoli/38214-nolite-timere-il-film-su-san-pietro-celestino-all-auditorium.html|title=Nolite timere', il film su San Pietro Celestino all'auditorium|date=2 July 2015|publisher=Isernia News|access-date=3 July 2015|archive-date=13 July 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150713135329/http://www.isernianews.it/cultura-spettacoli/38214-nolite-timere-il-film-su-san-pietro-celestino-all-auditorium.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> He was canonized on 5 May 1313 after a [[papal consistory|consistory]] in which Boniface's [[Caetani]] family was outvoted by members of the rival [[Colonna family|Colonna]] family.<ref>Ronald C.
