A genealogical roll of the kings of England, Written in the mid-15th century in England
A genealogical roll of the kings of England, tracing their descent back to Noah and extending to Henry vi, with later additions to Edward iv, with a narrative genealogy to left and right of the table, beg. (imperfect) 'Ab hiis tribus filiis'.
Endorsed is an apparently autograph note (beg. '[T]amquam vetustati') stating that the compiler worked 'ad instanciam strenuissimi domini mei domini Henrici [Percy] comitis secundi Northumbrie', and that he has called his work 'Carbunculus'.
