EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history, the Genealogical roll of the kings of England. Created between 1440 and 1479 by an unknown English artist, this pen and ink on parchment masterpiece measures an impressive 192.4x19.5 cm. Housed at The University of St. Andrews in Scotland, UK, it offers a glimpse into the intricate lineage and succession of English monarchs from William the Conqueror to Richard II. The scroll's verse chronicle emphasizes the bloodline and dynastic connections that shaped England's monarchy over centuries. Unfortunately, part of this significant manuscript has been lost over time, with its probable conclusion being Henry VI. Originally owned by William Cayton, prior of Gilbertine Watten priory near Beverly in 1470, it is now preserved for all to admire. Every detail within this royal genealogy unfolds like a visual tapestry as it traces back through generations upon generations of rulers who have left their mark on British history. From Henry III to Edward Longshanks (Edward I) and Edward II to Edward of Caernarfon (Edward III), each name represents a chapter in England's story. As we gaze upon this ancient artifact captured beautifully in Bridgeman Images' photograph, we are reminded not only of our shared past but also how these bloodlines continue to shape our present-day understanding of royalty and power dynamics within Britain's rich heritage.
