St. Helen of Anjou as a nun and King Uros as a monk

St. Helen of Anjou as a nun and King Uros as a monk
St. Helen of Anjou as a nun and King Uros as a monk. Next to Helen, there is an inscription: “St. Helen, honourable and despotic Queen. Next to Uros is an incription: “Uros, the King of all Serbian states and grandson of the King Stephan the First-Crowned.” But, the grandson should have been Milutin; this means that this man may also be King Milutin as a monk. Two pale figures were added over the existing ones. These are are two unidentified monarchs (probably King Milutin and his son Constantin). Above them is Christ Emanuil (Child) who brings them big schema (high monastic rank).
