Editing Pope Clement XI (section)

====Consistories====
{{main|Cardinals created by Clement XI}}
Clement XI created a total of 70 cardinals in 15 consistories. Notably, two cardinals of his own creation were Michelangelo dei Conti, who became his immediate successor, [[Pope Innocent XIII]], and Lorenzo Corsini, who later became [[Pope Clement XII]]. The pope also nominated eight cardinals "''[[in pectore]]''", later publishing their names which validated their appointments as cardinals.

During his pontificate, Gabriele Filippucci resigned his cardinalate which the pope accepted on 7 June 1706. Clement XI also accepted the resignation of [[Francesco Maria de' Medici, Duke of Rovere and Montefeltro|Francesco Maria de' Medici]] from the cardinalate on 19 June 1709.
