CCCC MS 16II Uses two images from Matthew Paris’ Chronica Maiora (CCCC MS 16II, f.154v and 216r) to illustrate how Richard, Earl of Cornwall built Hailes Abbey in thanks to escaping a shipwreck, and to present an example of ceremonial display of the relic of the Holy Blood, which was also housed at Hailes Abbey (pp. 29, 34).
