College of Arms Ms M6 is displayed in the room dedicated to Queen Jane, opened on a page showing an illustration of the procession to the christening in 1537 at Hampton Court Palace of Prince Edward, Duke of Cornwall, later King Edward VI. The drawings were probably created in the 1560s and the costumes here reflect the fashions of that time rather than of the 1530s. Interestingly, Princess, later Queen, Elizabeth, is depicted here as a young woman rather than as the small child she was at the time of the christening. Also in the exhibition is an enlarged reproduction of a section of the College’s famous Westminster Tournament Roll, displayed as a backdrop to a set of King Henry VIII’s tournament armour. </p> <p>The exhibition opens today and runs until 8 September.

The Coronation Roll is the official record of a Coronation and the earliest surviving roll is that of King Edward II and Queen Isabella in 1308.</p> <p>The text of the Coronation Roll was compiled with the assistance of Garter King of Arms and other officers of His Majesty's College of Arms. The illumination beginning the roll (illustrated left) was designed and painted by Timothy Noad, Herald-Painter at the College of Arms, and depicts The King’s Arms, St Edward’s Crown, and the plant badges of the United Kingdom. The text of the Roll was scrivened by calligrapher Stephanie von Werthern-Gill.</p> <p>On 26 April 2024, Antonia Romeo, Clerk of the Crown in Chancery, signed the completed roll at the College of Arms, in the presence of Garter King of Arms and other representatives of the College of Arms, Cabinet Office and National Archives.
