medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
There's a marvelous genealogy roll of Edward IV's ancestry in
Philadelphia. I saw it in this exhibit:
Title: Leaves of gold : manuscript illumination from Philadelphia
collections / edited by James R. Tanis with the assistance of Jennifer
A. Thompson ; with essays by Consuelo W. Dutschke ... [et al.].
Publication info: Philadelphia : Philadelphia Museum of Art, c2001.
Edward was very concerned with proof of lineage.
