I once went through a 15th c scroll showing the descent of Edward IV from Adam. It had Every.Single.One of the generations listed in Geoffrey of Monmouth, with the exception of one particularly dreary series that was summarized in a little paragraph. It was a mind-numbing exercise, a bit like reading the begats in the Old Testament.
Said scroll also had the whole French line from, I kid you not, ffaramond ("idly supposed to be the founder of this bill").
It also had the "we're descended from Arthur and you Lancastrian lot aren't, neener neener" bit, too.
