The simple answer is yes, they put each other's saints in their calendars,
and gave them a higher status than they might otherwise be thought to have
merited... This was purely for reciprocal tactical reasons. Van Dijk
touches on this somewhere, probably in:
S.J.P. van Dijk and J. Hazelden Walker, The Origins of the Modern Roman
Liturgy: The liturgy of the papal court and the Franciscan order in the
thirteenth century (London, 1960)
