   The Sistine Chapel serves as the chapel of the Papal Chapel, one of the two bodies of the papal household, known as the Papal Court until 1968, despite being the site of papal conclaves. There were roughly 200 persons in the Papal Chapel under Pope Sixth IV's reign in the late fifteenth century, including priests, Vatican officials, and well-known laypeople. The Papal Calendar stipulated that the entire Papal Chapel had to convene on fifty different occasions each year. 35 of these 50 events were masses, eight of which were held in basilicas, usually St. Peter's, and drew sizable crowds.
