EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "The Great Seal of Edward I: A Symbol of Monarchical Power and Unity" The Great Seal of Edward I, also known as the "Edward Longshanks Seal" or the "Hammer of the Scots Seal," is an iconic representation of the power and authority of one of medieval England's most influential monarchs. This image, available as a print from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases the intricately designed seal matrix that was used to create the official seal of Edward I between 1272 and 1307. Edward I, born in 1239, reigned as King of England and Lord of Ireland from 1272 until his death in 1307. He is famously known by his nicknames "Longshanks" for his tall stature and "Hammer of the Scots" due to his relentless military campaigns against the Scottish rebellion. This seal, an essential tool for the conduct of royal business, reflects Edward's regal power and sovereignty. The design of the seal includes a central image of Edward I in full regalia, seated on his throne, holding a scepter and orb in his hands. The legend surrounding the image reads "EDWARDUS DEI GRATIA REX ANGLIE ET HIBERNIE," which translates to "Edward, by the grace of God, King of England and Ireland." The reverse side of the seal features a large cross, symbolizing Edward's role as a defender of the Christian faith. The Great Seal of Edward I was used to authenticate various royal documents, including charters, proclamations, and letters. Its use signified the monarch's approval and legitimacy, making it an essential element of the English and Irish administrative systems during Edward's reign. This print offers a captivating glimpse into the rich history of British royalty and the symbolic power of the monarchy during the late medieval period.
