The stages above Geat are found in the genealogy of the West-Saxon kings only[[328]]. This is recorded in the Chronicle
under the year 855 (notice concerning Æthelwulf) and it was probably drawn up at the court of that king. Though it doubtless contains ancient names, it is apparently not so ancient as the Woden-Geat list. It became very well known, and is also found in Asser and the Textus Roffensis. It was copied by later historians such as William of Malmesbury, and by the Icelandic genealogists[[329]].
The principal versions of this pedigree are given in tabular form below (pp. 202-3); omitting the merely second-hand reproductions, such as those of Florence of Worcester.
H. Extract from the Chronicle Roll.
This roll was drawn up in the reign of Henry VI, and its compiler must have had access to a document now lost.
There are many copies of the roll extant—the "Moseley" Roll at University College, London (formerly in the Phillipps collection); at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge (No. 98 A); at Trinity College, Cambridge; and in the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris[[330]]; and one which recently came into the market in London.
