Summary

The Latin text on this parchment roll written in England in the fifteenth century is based on the text on a roll presented by Carmelite friar Roger of St. Albans to Henry VI, tracing the genealogy of kings from Adam to Henry VI. On this roll the genealogical diagram has been extended to include the reign of Edward IV but does not record his wife, so it was made after his coronation in 1461 but before his marriage in 1465. The verso is blank except for a French title added at the top: "Chronique des Annales du Monde et particulierement des Dinasties des Rois d' Angleterre commencant à Brutus et finissant à Henry VI."
