The challenge here is simple. Create a timeline where an existing historical figure is beatified and canonized after their death. Here are the rules:

1) You may use any form of Christianity that believes in Saints. Bonus points for having them recognized by more than one sect.

2) The person cannot be a saint in OTL, but they can be non-Christian in OTL. Go wild!

3) This is probably easier before 1900, but if you can think of one from post 1900 feel free to tell me.

4) This isn't a shared world, so you don't need to match with other posts.

Anyway, I'll start off:

Saint Hulagu

After a victory over the Mameluke army at Ain Jalut, Hulagu's armies swept through the Levant. His faith in Christ was bolstered by his victories, and Hulagu made Nestorian Christianity the state religion of the Ilkhanate, instituting a religious tax similar to the Jiyza. Under his guidance, Nestorians from throughout the empire came to the Ilkhanate, starting what is known as the Nestorian Golden Age. After his death he was recognized as a saint by the Nestorian church.
