Prior to the sixth century, saints were recognised as such more or less by acclamation.
From roughly the sixth to the tenth century, what formal canonisations took place did so under the supervision of the local bishop, through a rather informal process. A petition would be made to the bishop, usually accompanied by a written text about the putative saint's life and merits.
Canonisation remained a relatively informal process in the Eastern Churches but, in the West, Pope Gregory IX stipulated in 1234 that no person was to be canonised without the authority of the pope. By the early fourteenth century, a formal legal process of investigation was established before such a canonisation would take place.
