Image description

Roll chronicle containing the genealogy of the kings of England from the Heptarchy to Edward I as a king (1272-1307), but without portraits of his children, in the form of a diagram of interconnected roundels with portraits of kings in colours and gold, and an accompanying commentary; incipit: 'Par ceste figure desus lem put savoir'; explicit (with the death of Henry III) 'en le an de grace m.e. (sc. et) cc. (sic) e fu enterre a Westmouster'.There is a partly obliterated note in red, at the end, which seems to contain excuses by the illuminator, who was pressed for time. Membrane 6: The royal genealogy from Henry II to Edward I. The decoration also includes numerous marginal scenes, isolated human figures, animals and hybrids including men on stilts, shooting at rabbits and slinging at a parrot, a fox with crutch consulting a monkey physician, mice hanging a cat, a hare mounted on a hound hunting a stag. Initials in gold with blue pen-flourishing.
