Edward the Third, my lords, had seven sons...

A couple of you have heard me lament, on previous occasions, the inability to find an online reproduction of the title page of Hall's Union of the Two Noble and Illustre Famelies of Lancastre and Yorke, because it is pretty and shiny and awesome and also highly propagandistic, and really, I know you have all wanted to see pictorial representations of John of Gaunt and Edmund Langley with vines springing from their nether regions. Now, I was unable to find one of these for a long time, but it turns out there is one after all, at the Furness online collection, as I should have figured out (I happened across it because I was googling for the full title, because I needed it for the diss and couldn't remember). So here is a link to it, because it is pretty. Old-fashioned family trees are much harder to read, but they are much more aesthetically pleasing.
