EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Great Seal of Henry I, King of England (1068-1135) This image showcases the Great Seal of Henry I, also known as Henry Beauclerc, who reigned as King of England from 1100 to 1135. Henry I was the third son of William the Conqueror and Matilda of Flanders, and he played a crucial role in the establishment and consolidation of the Norman Conquest of England. The Great Seal was an essential symbol of royal authority and power during the Middle Ages. It was used to authenticate official documents, including charters, letters, and decrees. This particular seal bears a striking representation of Henry I, dressed in regal attire and crowned, with his right hand raised in a gesture of benediction. The inscription around the image reads "Henricus Rex Anglorum," which translates to "Henry, King of the English." The design on the reverse side of the seal is equally impressive, featuring a crowned lion holding a scepter and a globe. The lion, a symbol of courage and strength, represented the monarchy, while the scepter and globe signified the king's temporal and spiritual power. This impressive artifact offers a glimpse into the rich history of medieval England and the powerful symbolism of its monarchy. Henry I's Great Seal is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Norman Conquest and the majesty of the English crown.
