medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture

Dear medieval-religion colleagues,

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?

Thanking you, as ever,

George
