	Art of Simone Martini
		The eight saints painted on the underside of the entrance arch help us determine the patron who commissioned the frescoes, since the influence exerted by the House of Anjou is clearly noticeable here: together with the saints of the Franciscan Order there are other saints connected to Robert of Anjou.
		This dating is solidly supported by stylistic comparisons with the older sections of the Maestà and with the contemporary Altarpiece of St Louis of Toulouse (probably painted in 1317) as well as by a careful reconstruction of the historical events involving the House of Anjou (who commissioned the frescoes) and Simone himself around this period.
		The group of saints painted alongside the altar dedicated to St Elizabeth in the right transept of the Basilica is a further expression of the political and religious feeling that bound the House of Anjou to Hungary and the Spirituals.

		They concealed their feelings with great care; the Duc de Guise, who had not yet become as ambitious as he was to become later, wanted desperately to marry her, but fear of angering his uncle, the Cardinal de Lorraine, who had taken the place of his dead father, prevented him from making any declaraton.
		This was how the matter stood when the ruling house of Bourbon, who could not bear to see any benefit accruing to that of de Guise, decided to step in and reap the profit themselves by marrying this heiress to the Prince de Montpensier.
		The house of de Guise was much displeased at this, but the Duc himself was overcome by grief, and regarded this as an insupportable affront.
