Royal MS 14 B V, Genealogical Chronicle of the English Kings, the Heptarchy and the...

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 1: The Heptarchy and the royal genealogy from Egbert to Æthelred.
