Note 13 — I. THE ROLL.
Reading edition
The Abbé de la Rue, in an elaborate paper in the Archæologia (vol. xvii, p. 85-109), supports the opinion that the Tapestry was prepared at the command of Matilda, daughter of Henry I. and wife of Henry V. Emperor of Germany. Lord Lyttleton (History of Henry II., vol. i, p. 353) and Hume (History of England, vol. i, note F.) entertain similar views.
