Abstract:
This article is about the non-religious men in Louis of Anjou and Thomas Aquinas’s canonization processes between 1308-1323. Thirty-three testimonials in the first case and forty-tree in the second produced a corpus of fourteen hearings. We pointed what those hearings have in common and why Bartolomeo da Capua testimony are exceptional among the others, in the Aquinas process. We used beata stirps and time of word concepts. We concluded that these two processes were used for political benefits by the Angevins in the Kingdom of Naples.
