The genealogies of the Kings of England in scroll-form, which derived from those by Matthieu Paris, were much-appreciated memory aids between 1265 and 1422. They allow us to better understand historical culture, how power was represented, how its legitimacy was conceived, and how the English sense of national feeling was formed.

Review - French Les genealogies en rouleau des rois d'Angleterre realisees entre 1265 et 1422, principalement sous les regnes d'Edouard Iet Edouard II, constituent un materiau tres riche pour l'analyse de la culture historique et des mentalites politiques. La genese de ces anonymes aide-memoire, la plupart ecrits en anglo-normand, qui rencontrerent un reel succes aupres des elites anglaises, est a chercher dans les prototypes latins elabores entre 1250 et 1259 par le grand chroniqueur de Saint-Albans, Matthieu Paris. Largement diffusees, souvent illustrees, ces genealogies permettent de mieux apprehender la representation du pouvoir royal, la conception de sa legitimite et la formation du sentiment national anglais.
