Elzéar of Sabran

Elzéar of Sabran (1285–1323), count of Ariano, was a Provençal nobleman and Franciscan tertiary serving the Angevin kings of Naples. Educated at Marseille's Abbey of St. Victor under his uncle the abbot, he and his wife Delphine of Glandèves took vows of chastity and joined the Franciscan Third Order together.

He inherited Ariano on his father's death in 1309. In 1312 he led King Robert of Naples' army to Rome against Emperor Henry VII, and in 1317 became tutor to Robert's son Duke Charles.

In 1323 he went as ambassador to Paris to arrange Charles's marriage to Marie of Valois, and died there. He was canonised as a saint around 1371.
