Dopo la loro conversione, Chiara e la comunità di S. Damiano cercarono di rimanere in stretto contatto con Francesco e l’Ordine dei Frati Minori. La curia papale, invece, soprattutto il cardinale Ugo/Ugolino d’Ostia, stava perseguendo un progetto di riforma della vita religiosa femminile in accordo con le costituzioni del IV concilio lateranense. Finché Francesco fu in vita, Ugolino non riuscì a far sì che a S. Damiano fosse osservata la forma vitae da lui scritta per i monasteri da lui fondati, ma dopo la morte di Francesco e la deposizione di frate Elia egli poté realizzare il suo disegno
