What was the time length of longest conclave to elect new pope?

Answer 1

The longest interregnum followed the death of Clement IV in November 29 of 1268 and did not end until September 1 of 1271 with the election of Pope Gregory X. This prompted Gregory to declare that in future conclaves the cardinals would be locked away until a pope was chosen.
