About this work

This image shows a family tree with a crowned man at the center. His face is detailed, wearing a crown and robes. Around him are circles with names like "Robertus" and "Elisabetha," connected by lines showing relationships. There’s also a coat of arms and text at the top in Latin. The crowned man is labeled as "ROBERTVS BRVSEVS SCOTI REX," meaning he’s the king. The whole image is a map of his family, showing who married whom and who had kids. If you like this kind of detailed family history, look into engraving.
