NB: the labels for Hasle and Rønne fonts are mixed in Heales; he also uses the English style-date system, places this font at about the same date as the one at nearby Hasle [cf. Index entry for Hasle] which is dated "somewaht later in that style", i.e., Early English, that is to say, either at the end of that period or already into the Decorated style, dating somewhere between 1250 1350. The name of this location appears as "Rönne" in Heales, but the present usage is "Rønne".
