There is a family tree toward the middle of the volume. It shows names but few dates, beginning with William Brandon of Suffolk. This is complimented by various short trees, within the text, throughout the volume.

The contents are copies dating from the reigns of Edward III to Elizabeth I. Date on back flyleaf/ pastedown is Feb: 8th 1666/7.
