medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and cultureFrom p. 18 of A Sip from the Well of Grace:
The seven most common titles in the registers are: de matrimonialibus (concerning marriages), de diversis formis (concerning different types of cases), de declaratoriis (concerning declarations), de defectu natalium (concerning illegitimate birth), de uberiori (concerning acquisition of more than one benefice: here, for illegitimate children), de promotis et promovendis (concerning ordinations to ecclesiastical orders), de confessionalibus (the right to have a private confessor or a special privilege in confession matters). The content of each petition category will be explained in detail a bit later.9

He then needed to display his papal letters to his bishop before the latter would ordain him.

A good place to start in the 3-volume Canterbury & York Society publication: "Supplications from England & Wales in the Registers of the Apostolic Penitentiary, 1410-1503",
edited by Peter D Clarks & Patrick Zutshi (2012 onwards, published by Boydell for the C & Y.Soc.). This deals with exactly the sort of
issues you raise and the introduction in volume I sets out the sorts o cases appealed to the Penitentiary and its methods of working, documentation etc.

Subject: [M-R] papal tribunals
medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and cultureCan anyone help me understand what sort of cases went before papal tribunals? I'm looking at a bull issued by Benedict XI which is phrased as if it is a personal favour to a petitioner, but I wonder if it had to go to tribunal as it justifies the decision in legalistic language. In in, he permits a man to be promoted within the priesthood notwithstanding his illegitimacy, 'desiring to treat your person with the perogative of special favour, we dispense with you by apostolic authority concerning special favour'
all best
