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 Stephen V (listed as Pelagius, John III, Benedict I, Pelagius II, Gregory I, Boniface IV, Deusdedit, Boniface V, Honorius I, Severinus, John IV, Theodore I, Martin I, Eugene I, Vitalian, Adeodatus, Boniface [?], Agatho, Benedict II, John V, Conon, Sergius I, Leo II [out of sequence], John VI, John VII, Sisinnius, Constantine, Gregory II, Gregory III, Zachary, Stephen III, Paul I, Constantine [?], Stephen IV, Adrian I, Leo III and Stephen V). The second column lists the line of Roman Emperors from Constantine III to Lothair I (Constantine III [given as IV], Constantine IV [given as V], Justinian II, Leontius, Tiberius III, Justinian II [restored], Philippe {Bardanes], Anastasius II, Theodosius III, Constantine V, Leo IV, Constantine VI, Irene, Charlemagne, Louis the Pious and Lothair I). From Charlemagne the Emperor is from the same dynasty as the French kings. The third column charts the Carolingian dynasty: Louis the German [= Ludwig, King of the East Franks], Lothair I and Charles the Bald (Charles le Chauve), Charles's son Louis the Stammerer (Louis le Bègue), brother of Charles the Child, Carloman and Judith of Flanders, Charles the Simple, Rudolph, Louis IV and Louis V. After Louis V the monarchy passes to the Capetian dynasty with Hugh Capet, son of Hugh the Great, and Robert II. The fourth column continues with the line of Norman kings: 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, and John's children, Richard, Duke of Cornwall, Isabel and Eleanor. There is a short paragraph about Thomas à Becket, then a lengthy section on the Crusades, with particular mention of Godfrey of Bouillon, his brothers Baldwin and Eustace, and other French dukes. The medallions depict events from the text, including St Gregory (53), Charlemagne (54), the crowning of Hugh Capet (55) and Godfrey of Bouillon riding to the crusade (56).
