• Résumé : CCCC MS 98 is a genealogical roll in French and Latin, illustrating the history of the Welsh and English royal lines and that of the Lacy family. On the dorse of the roll appears a Latin prose genealogy from Adam to Henry V. On the basis of its decoration and style, the roll has been dated to c, 1470, a conclusion supported by the slightly defensive description of Edward IV (who had been deposed and regained the throne in 1470-71) as 'dei gratia uerus et indubitatus Rex'. It is not known how this roll came into Parker's possession.
