According to research, the painting could represent the secret marriage of Catherine of Geldern & Louis De Bourbon, Prince-Bishop of Liège.
Portrait of St Leonard of Noblac, the painting was a votive offering of Cardinal Jean Jouffroy, ambassador and counciler of King Louis XI of France.
The painting includes a document dated October 20, 1473. This document describes the painting and its history. The archives of the Belgium Alexian Brothers has listed it as a notarial record confirming some ten deeds of the cloistered Brothers of Cologne, France and Hildesheim, in Lower Saxony, Germany. This painting has a concealed coat of arms, a monogram and a seal. The coat of arms and seal belong to both of the signers of this document. The signers of this document are Geraud of Salignac and Cardinal Jean Geoffroy.
Geraud of Salignac, lord of Rochefort, Baron de Fontenay. He was governor of King Henry IV in his youth. He married Isabella de Pierre-Buffière, daughter of Jean Geoffroy, and Marguerite de Bourbon-Busset.
This is an illegitimate branch of the House of Bourbon, being thus agnatic descendants of the Capetian dynasty. The line of Bourbon-Busset descends in male line starting from the son of Louis of Bourbon, Prince-Bishop of Liège (1438–1482), himself a son of Charles I, Duke of Bourbon. Louis, in male line a sixth cousin of king Charles VII of France, married, without royal licence, Catharine d'Egmond, a daughter of Arnold, Duke of Gelderlan.
