EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history, the Genealogical roll of the kings of England. Created in the 15th century, this pen and ink on parchment masterpiece measures an impressive 192.4x19.5 cm and is currently housed at The University of St. Andrews in Scotland. The intricately detailed roll highlights the succession of English monarchs from William the Conqueror to Richard II, emphasizing their bloodline and dynastic connections. Unfortunately, part of this significant manuscript has been lost over time, but it is believed that it would have concluded with Henry VI. Originally owned by William Cayton, prior of Gilbertine Watten priory near Beverly in 1470, this genealogical roll holds immense historical value. It serves as a testament to the importance placed on royal lineage during medieval times. With its delicate Latin script and elegant scroll-like design, this artifact offers a glimpse into England's rich heritage and monarchy's enduring power. The names Henry III and John Lackland are among those featured prominently on this fascinating document. As we admire this image captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, we cannot help but marvel at how such a small piece can encapsulate centuries worth of royal history within its intricate details - truly a treasure for all lovers of British history and genealogy alike.
