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.

Can 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
