Leo X repaid such services by presenting him with a purple robe, appointing him his treasurer and entrusting him with many important missions, among them the command of the Papal army in the War of Urbino (1517) and a legation to France (1518).

In the meantime the office of Captain General of the Church had become vacant, and Paul nominated his son on 31 January 1537.
