fol. 10v, col. 1: interview between the duke of Anjou with pope Clement VII at Avignon (1379). Flanked by two cardinals in their red hats, antipope Clement VII, crowned with the papal tiara (triple crown or diadem), sits on a throne decked with a blue cloth embroidered with red tassels, an attribute of cardinals. He is receiving duke Louis I of Anjou, the brother of Charles V of France, dressed in a blue houppelande powdered with gold fleurs-de-lys. The pope supported Louis’s accession to the throne of Naples in 1382.
