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 Clement III. The second column lists the line of Emperors from Louis the Pious to Otto III (Louis the Pious, Lothair I, Louis II, Charles II, Charles the Child (his description as the son of Louis the German indicates this is, in fact, Charles the Fat), Louis III, Berengar I, Berengar II, Otto I, Otto II, and Otto III). The third column charts the Capetian dynasty: Robert II, Henry I, Philippe I, Louis VI, Louis VII, Philippe II, and Louis VIII. The fourth column continues with the Crusades, Baldwin of Bouillon becoming Duke of Edessa, the conquering of the city of Antioch, of which Bohemond becomes the Prince, and Godfrey of Bouillon taking Jerusalem. After his death, his brother Baldwin assumes the title King of Jerusalem. The medallions depict events from the text, including Godfrey of Bouillon taking Jerusalem (57) and Berengar becoming the Emperor (58).
