The <entity_0> (<entity_8>–8) elected Alfons Borja <entity_1> following the death of Pope Nicholas V. The <entity_7> was the first in the <entity_3>, the site of all but five papal conclaves thereafter. The two main factions of the cardinals were divided between the followers of <entity_5> and <entity_6>; among the papabile were Barbo, Trevisan, Capranica, Orsini, and Bessarion. In this capacity, <entity_2> (noted for defecting from the Eastern Church following the East–West Schism) was able to receive eight votes, before his candidacy was scuttled following a speech by <entity_4>—recorded by eyewitnesses—which emphasized Bessarion's former membership in the Eastern Orthodox Church and his retention of Greek mannerisms, such as a full beard.
