Funeral rites and conclave notes from Rome and Europe
In Rome the late Pope is interred in St Peter's Basilica with elaborate ceremonies. A marble mausoleum pyramid and gold adorned coffins, with a Cardinal officiating and Latin funeral oration. Reports describe Cardinal Ottoboni and Albani, cardinals arriving, and preparations for the conclave guarded by 200 soldiers. Elsewhere in Hamburg and regional courts news covers political tensions, officer promotions, and a noted accidental confession in a church.
