CCCC MS 16II Uses three illustrations from Matthew Paris’ Chronica Maiora to support the biography of Louis VIII of France. He invaded England in 1215 with the intention of dethroning King John (CCCC MS 16II, f. 50v), but was defeated by the English in the battles of Lincoln (CCCC MS 16II, f.55v) and Sandwich (CCCC MS 16II, f.56r) in 1217.
