# Analysis of Page 114, "Albions England" This is a **page of running verse prose** from what appears to be a historical or genealogical poem titled "Albions England" (visible in header). The text traces English royal lineage through marriages and succession, mentioning figures including Agatha, Margaret, Edgar, William, Henry, and Stephen. The verse chronicles how various noble bloodlines merged through strategic unions—particularly how Norman and English royal lines became intertwined. The passage ends mid-narrative ("Perplexed" at bottom), indicating continuation on the next page. Despite the OCR label suggesting penny dreadful, this appears to be a historical/genealogical work in verse form, not sensational fiction.
