medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture There are two decretals in the Decretales Gregorii IX under the title De iure patronatus [X 3.26 canons 6 & 16] that try to inhibit sale of rights of patronage. It is described in c. 16 as "annxed" (annexum) to the spiritual (spirituali). Most of the rest of the title is concerned with defining powers, especially the roles of bishop and patron, and providing remedies if there is no presentation to a benefice. I looked at Trexler's book on the synodal laws of Fiesole and Florence. Nothing on this point.
