medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear George,
I would look into the case of St Stephen of Hungary (and Central Europe in general). The canonization process in the XI century and the subsequent re-appropriation of the saint by the Angevins in the XIV century are already quite interesting. See Klaniczay, Holy Rulers and Blessed Princesses for this. The authority of the saint together with his alleged Holy Crown became the very definition of Hungarian statehood in István Werbőczy's doctrine of the Holy Crown (Tripartium, 1514), leading to heavy political debates even after 1990 (about the integration of the Holy Crown into the coat of arms of the Hungarian Republic). For this, you can start with: Radnóti, Sándor: “The Glass Cabinet: An essay about the place of the Hungarian crown.” In: Acta Historiae Artium, 2002. The new constitution in 2011 contains another reference to the "historical constitution" of Hungary - to the Crown in fact.
I hope this helps,
Péter

Hi Georges,
By clicking on the following link you will have the official act (July 10th 1920) making Joan of Arc patron of French Republic:

Thank you very much, Karl and Tom, for your help! If anyone else has further information in this regard, I’d be grateful if you could share this.
I have another question regarding canonization. This time, it has more to do with its effects. I wonder if there is any tangible trace of canonization — the process, or the effects of a canonization — in the legal system of a country. The only thing I can possibly think of is when a country might adopt a canonized saint as its official patron saint. For example: I’ve tried to find, without success, whether Joan of Arc was ever made patron of France by an act of the French legislature or a decree of the French president.
Anyway, if anyone knows of any dovetailing or correlation of canonization and national legal system or national laws, I’d love to learn from you about this. Thank you.
Best wishes, George

Oh, I know that there was much money under way to promote the Austrian margrave Leopold III. († 1136) Some came from the monastery Klosterneuburg, some from the Hungarian king Mathias Corvinas, who then had parts of Austria in his hand – and nothing from the emperor, the Habsburgian Friedrich III. Leopold was canonized 1485.
Yours
Karl

> Lately the media have reported, relative to ‘Vatileaks’, on funds tied to postulators in charge of administering canonization processes. This made me wonder if we have historical records tied to payments made by supporters of a medieval cause for canonization. I do know, for example, that the French king Philippe le Bel paid for the expenses related to the canonization process (c.1306-1313) of Peter of the Morrone / pope Celestine V (d.1296). Do any of you know of earlier (or indeed, later medieval) records for payments of this sort?
