Pingy ding ding
I never knew there was anything so old and I am descended from the New Zealand “Mayflower” settlers...the First Four Ships...
Maybe because it was hidden in the university and not in the Canterbury Museum...
All hail Daenerys of the House Targaryen, the First of Her Name, The Unburnt, Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, Queen of Meereen, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Protector of the Realm, Lady Regnant of the Seven Kingdoms, Breaker of Chains and Mother of Dragons.
Looks like Latin....................
Plus why was it in New Zealand ???
the English part of New Zealand history doesn’t reach back that far...
The treaty between Queen Victoria and the Maoris was signed Feb 6, 1840...
the “Mayflower” settlers arrived in 1850...though there were a few before that...
That and $5 will get you a latte at Starbucks................
And all this time we thought you were on them..........LOL! :)
And this is... Jon Snow.
Oh, um... King of the North.
Eh ???
It very likely is written in Latin. Very few documents that old were written in the vernacular.
The genealogy is accompanied by an extensive commentary in Latin. The five-metre long manuscript roll was purchased by the University of Canterbury in 1918 from the Maude family of Christchurch.

Another great thread. Really wonderful to see this sort of scientific work being done on ancient documents.
And the best pair in Westeros!
Yep, looks like they wrote it after having some Olde English...................
Thanks Oshkalaboomboom. There was a documentary that was related to the Time Team I think, and the legitimate (as opposed to bastard or other dodgy practices) royal line led to a now-deceased Australian descendant of King Edward IV.
The Wars (plural) of the Roses did not last three centuries unless they’re counting from the first Plantagenet to the first Tudor. That’s a mighty broad definition.
