One astonishing thing about Saint Elizabeth of Hungary is that she was closely connected to the Franciscans from almost the first moment of their existence. Saint Francis was granted his charter by Pope Innocent III in 1215. Saint Elizabeth was dead by 1227 and already so closely connected that her likeness was painted in the Cathedral of Saint Francis in Assisi.

Saint Elizabeth of Portugal, born fifty years later, took the habit of a Poor Clare after her husband died and her son became the ruler.
