This joint biography illuminates the lives of Francis and Clare and
their way of life. It shows how they were bound together by
devotion to God as well as the violent objections of their families
to religious life. It explores a variety of issues they faced,
including the treatment of lepers in medieval society, corruption
in the church, and attitudes toward the created world. You will
learn how Clare's spirituality influenced that of other prominent
women, how Francis lost control of his own movement, and why
Francis's body was secretly buried after his death.
