Description:
|
The story of King Offa and his reign. The chapter begins: 'Howe king Offa was soueraine'. The preceding 21 lines, 'Thanne kyng Aleyn did sende for the Clergie of his londe...vic lxxix' are probably derived from Geoffrey of Monmouth. There is some red rubrication and a pen-flourished initial 'I' in red ink. The script is mainly secretary.
