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 St Gregory the Great (listed as Innocent I, Zosimus, Boniface I, Celestine I, Sixtus III, Leo I, Hilarius, Simplicius, Felix III, Gelasius I, Anastasius III, Symmachus, Hormisdas, John I, Felix IV, Boniface II, John II, Agapetus I, Silverius, Vigilius, Pelagius, John III, Benedict I, Pelagius II and Gregory I). The second column lists the line of Roman Emperors from Jovian to Anastasius II (Jovian, Valentinian I, Valens, Gratian, Valentinian II, Theodosius I, Honorius, Arcadius, Theodosius II, Marcian, Valentinian III, Leo I, Leo II, Zeno, Justin, Tiberius II, Maurice, Phocas, Heraclius, Constantine III [given as IV], Constantine IV [given as V], Justinian II, Leontius, Tiberius III, Justinian II [restored], Philippe {Bardanes] and Anastasius II). The third column charts the Carolingian dynasty: Charles Martel, Mayor of the Palace, his sons Carloman I and Pepin the Short, Charlemagne and Louis the Pious. Following Louis the kingdom is divided between his sons Louis the German [= Ludwig, King of the East Franks], Lothair I and Charles the Bald (Charles le Chauve), Charles becoming King of France. He is succeeded by his son, Louis the Stammerer (Louis le Bègue), brother of Charles the Child, Carloman and Judith of Flanders. The fourth column continues with the last of the Anglo-Saxon kings: Edwy the Fair, St Edgar, Edward the Martyr, Edred [= Ethelred], Edmund Ironside, Edward the Confessor and Harold. It then gives an account of how Harold lost England to the Normans. It continues with the line of Norman kings: William the Conqueror, William II, Henry I, Stephen and the Empress Maud [= Matilda], Maud's son Henry II, and his children Henry [co-regent], Richard I, John, Eleanor [= Leonora] and Joan. The medallions depict events from the text, including Pepin the Short crowned King of France (51), William, Duke of Normandy killing King Harold in battle (52), and St Gregory (53).
