MS. Bodl. Rolls 21
Summary Catalogue no.: 3113
Contents
From Rollo duke of Normandy to Henry VI
The chronicle becomes more comprehensive for the reign of Richard II, and contains a detailed account of his abdication
It continues to the accession of Henry VI, after which follow chronological computations to 1446 CE and the descent of Henry VI from St. Louis of France
The foundation of Lanthony priory, 1136 CE, is recorded, and special notice is taken of the doings of the Bohuns, earls of Hereford, patrons of that monastery. It seems probable, therefore, that the roll was compiled at Lanthony.
Verses occur in the accounts of Henry son of Henry II (here called Henry III), Richard I, and Henry V.
