EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Genealogical roll of the kings of England" a remarkable pen and ink masterpiece created by an unknown English artist in the 15th century. Measuring at an impressive size of 192.4x19.5 cm, this intricate work is housed within The University of St. Andrews in Scotland. The genealogical roll serves as a verse chronicle that meticulously traces the lineage and succession of English monarchs from William the Conqueror to Richard II, highlighting their bloodline and dynastic connections. Unfortunately, part of this historical manuscript has been lost over time, with its missing membrane likely concluding with Henry VI. Originally owned by William Cayton, prior of Gilbertine Watten priory near Beverly in 1470, this royal treasure offers invaluable insights into medieval British history and monarchy. Its detailed depiction portrays not only the rulers themselves but also provides a visual representation of their family trees and dynasties. Through its Latin inscriptions and scroll-like format, this genealogical roll immerses viewers into a world where power was passed down through generations within noble bloodlines. It stands as a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance, offering us glimpses into the lives and reigns of influential figures such as Stephen of Blois, Henry I & II, Henry Curtmantle (also known as Henry II), and Henry Beauclerc.
