EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Family Tree of Hrolf, or Rollo, first Duke of Normandy" takes us on a journey through time and lineage. Published in 1926 as part of the book "Everyday Life in Anglo-Saxon, Viking and Norman Times" this intricate illustration showcases the ancestral connections of Hrolf, also known as Rollo. The family tree begins with Hrolf himself, tracing his descendants through generations to William the Conqueror and eventually leading to King Henry II of England. It serves as a testament to the enduring power and influence that this noble lineage held over centuries. The artist behind this remarkable piece is Ken Welsh, whose attention to detail brings each figure to life. The men depicted exude strength and masculinity while representing different eras from the 10th century onwards. Not only does this print provide historical insight into medieval Europe's political landscape, but it also highlights the interconnectedness between France (specifically Normandy) and England during these times. The Norman conquest led by William the Conqueror forever changed English history. As we gaze upon this fascinating artwork today, we are reminded of our own ancestry and how our lives are shaped by those who came before us. This family tree represents more than just names; it symbolizes heritage, legacy, and a sense of belonging within a larger historical narrative.
