To the right of the central panel in the frontal appear two French saints, Joan of Arc and Martin of Tours. The military associations of the first needs no comment, but St Martin was probably included, not so much because he was a professional soldier before his baptism, but because of his feast day – 11 November. He is shown here using his episcopal cope to cover the nakedness of a beggar – a somewhat drastic modification of the original narrative, in which St Martin was approached by a naked beggar while he was still enrolled in the Roman army. What he provided the beggar with for clothing was something far more practical than an ecclesiastical vestment: namely, half of his military cloak.
