King (later Emperor) Henry III (1039–56) nominated Suidger for the Papacy upon the abdication of Pope Gregory VI (1045–46) which took place on December 1046.

All this was met with criticism from church reformers, although Clement II's short pontificate, starting with the Roman synod of 1047, initiated an improvement on the state of things in the Catholic church, particularly through enacting decrees against simony.

Clement II died in October 1047, and was interred at Bamberg, which he had loved dearly. A recent toxicologic examination of his remains confirmed centuries old rumors that the Pope had been poisoned with lead sugar. It is, however, not clear whether he was assassinated or not, as lead sugar in those times was often used as a cure for venereal diseases.
