Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Pope Urban V" in English language version.
Contemporary sources indicate that, within three days of Urban's death on 19 December 1370, word had begun to spread of miracles secured by his intervention, and those who had obtained his assistance began to bring wax votive images and candles which they deposited at his tomb. In 1372, Urban's remains were transferred from Avignonto the monastery of St. Victor at Marseilles, where he had formerly served as abbot. By this time his cult had become well known in southern France, and large crowds lined the route. Miracles accredited to Urban were soon being recorded in many parts of western Europe, from Flanders and Bohemia in the north, to Spain and Italy in the south, although the majority seem to have taken place in the vicinity of Marseilles, where the relics now reposed.
