Description: | This manuscript was originally compiled in 1380 by Thomas Walsingham, the precentor of the Benedictine abbey of St. Albans, as a record of those who had made gifts to the abbey. Blank spaces were left for additions, and these were gradually used for the next hundred years; this page is one of them.
Robert Chamberlain is shown in full armour, kneeling before the Dextera Dei, holding a scroll which reads 'God have mercy on me'. The accompanying text states that he was received by the abbey on 7 January 1417, and that on the same day he gave wine liberally. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
