Zusammenfassung:Siena and the Angevins (1300–1350): Art, Diplomacy, and Dynastic Ambition. Here, instead, Norman immerses us immediately into Trecento Siena and its close participation in the Guelph affinity led by King Robert of Anjou. Norman carefully demonstrates these Angevin royals’ role in maintaining the Guelph alliance throughout the peninsula, leading up to her analysis of Siena's Nine, whose close ties to King Robert's political agendas influenced Lorenzetti's and Martini's visual programs.
