Manfredi, Margherita (donna) (OFS)

Description

Mona Margherita presents a fascinating case of a Franciscan tertiary buried in a Dominican friary. There is certainly more to her story, but at present we do not know why she did not opt for burial at Santa Croce or another Franciscan church.

Notes

  • [a] Margherita's death notice in the Santa Maria Novella necrology indicates that she was a member of the Franciscan tertiaries and had been for more than 60 years.
  • [b] Margherita was definitely a Franciscan tertiary. We assume at Santa Croce.
