The 1099 papal election following the death of Pope Urban II took place on 13 August 1099. Before his death, Urban had designated Cardinal Raniero di Bleda as his successor. The cardinal-electors, with the consent of the lower Roman clergy, chose Raniero, who, after a flight and over his considerable objections, accepted and took the name Paschal II.
