In this mean time it happened, that during this Council of Constance,1 after the deposing of Pope John, and spoiling of his goods, which came to 75. thousand pounds of gold and silver, as is reported in the story of Saint Albans,2 Pope Martin upon the day of S. Martin, was elected. Concerning whose election, great preparation was made before of the Council, so that beside the Cardinals, five other Bishops of every nation should enter into the conclave, who there together should be kept with thin diet, till they had founded a Pope. At last, when they were together,3 they agreed upon this man, and not tarrying for opening of the door, like mad men, for hast, burst open an hole in the wall, crying out, habemus papam, Martinum, we have a Martin Pope. The Emperor hearing thereof, with the like hast, came apace, and falling down, kissed the new Popes feet. Then went they all to the Church together, and sang, Te Deum.
