Frances was forced into marriage at age 12, but it was a happy one that lasted for 40 years and birthed 3 children. She and her sister-in-law Vannozza both dedicated their lives and wealth to helping the poor, despite losing two children to the plague. She later founded the monastery The Oblates of the Tor de' Specchi, advocating no religious vows and pledged solely to help the unfortunate. Frances' patronage of drivers and vehicles is due to the stories that claim when she went abroad her guardian angel led her, lighting her path like a headlight, keeping her safe.
