Abstract Creativity is often highly concentrated in time and space, across different domains. What explains the formation decay of clusters creativity? We match data on notable individuals born Europe between eleventh nineteenth centuries with historical city data. The production attraction creative talent associated institutions that protected economic political freedoms promoted local autonomy. Instead, indicators conditions such as size real wages, do not predict clusters. also show famous creatives are spatially clustered disciplines, their spatial mobility has remained stable over centuries, persistent but less than population.

However, case is rather curious one: was, at least beginning, almost exclusively sponsored by patronage. After having transferred Medardus’s body from episcopal see Noyon town Soissons, contemporary king Chlothar I commissioned basilica be built over saint’s tomb. Serving as burial place two kings - himself (d. 561) son Sigibert 575) -, continuously benefited during Carolingian periods. The newly established quickly gained popularity subsequently figured among most prominent sanctuaries Even though posthumous ‘career’ far being commonplace, up now very little attention has been paid Chlothar’s reasons linking this bishop closely reigning dynasty. An overall look scattered evidence will suggest that consciously chose particularly ‘royal saint’, i.e. unlike many others not linked tradition certain bishopric or authority living bishop. By actively supporting new cult, successors apparently adopted integral features authority. As comparison with royally other cities show, approach well. [Author]
