Description:
Vellum roll depicting a chronological history from the creation to 15th century France. It contains 65 painted medallions. The first column relates to the Christian Church in Rome and the line of popes to Boniface I (listed as Eutychian, Gaius, Marcellinus, Marcellus I, Eusebius, Miltiades, Sylvester I, Marcus, Liberius, Felix (II), Damasus I, Siricius, Anastasius I, Innocent I, Zosimus and Boniface I). The second column relates the persecution of the Christians and lists the line of Roman Emperors to Valens (Valerian, Claudius II, Aurelian, Tacitus, Probus, Florianus, Carus, Diocletian, Constantius Chloris I and Galerius, Constantine I, Constantine II, Constans I, Constantius II, Jovian, Valentinian I and Valens). The third column continues with the line of the first French (Merovingian) kings (Dagobert I, Clovis II, Childeric, Theudoric, Clotaire III [Lothair III], Clovis III, Childebert III, Clotaire IV, Chilperich III, Dagobert II, Theudoric IV [Thierry IV] and Childeric III. Childeric III was deposed and replaced by the Mayor of the Palace, Pepin the Short, who became the first of the Carolingian dynesty. Mention is also made of Charles Martel, another Mayor of the Palace. The fourth column gives an account of the life and death of King Arthur. It continues with the line of early British kings (Constantine III, Adelbrit, Havelok the Dane (who was also known as Cuheran) and Aurelius Conan Constantine. Then begins the line of Anglo-Saxon kings of England (Edred [= Egbert], Alfred the Great, Edward the Elder, Edwig and St Edgar the Peaceable, St Edward the Martyr and Edred [=Ethelred II]). The medallions depict events from the text, including Dagobert founding the church at St Denis in France (48), Arthur killing Mordet [= Mordred] in battle (49) and a ruined town to indicate the destruction in England following the death of Arthur (50).
