He brought the matrix to the chapter when it was needed, together with the wax that was required, and made the required impression, and held one of the three keys which locked the coffer containing it. If the convent seal became faulty through age or illusage, another matrix was obtained. Such a transaction is noted in the charters of Salisbury Rolls Series, No. xcvi. In an ordinance respecting the use of the chapter seals of Sarum, dated 7 January, 1214, it was decided from that date to give up the use of the old bone seal (verteri osseo sigillo) on account of the numerous flaws in it. Religious corporations used, generally speaking, three descriptions of seals: (i) Seals of dignity, wherewith charters and documents of greater importance were sealed; (ii) Counter-seals, in the case of corporations usually the privy seal of the head of the house for the time being; and (iii) Seals ad caitsas. But in certain large monasteries, such as Westminster, the great officers had seals of their own, such as the chamberlain and the sacrist. COMMON SEAL OF THE ABBEY OF LANG LEY (British Museum) It will be as well in considering monastic seals to group them arbitrarily under their devices, and the following headings serve to contain most of them: A, Deity; B, The Blessed Mary; C, Saints; D, Legends; E, Figures of the founder, etc. ; F, Architectural; G, Miscellaneous. First in dignity, though late in date, must be placed those seals upon which a majesty appears. This device is to be found on the seal of the mitred abbey of Binham, on its second foundation. It is much more common in a subordinate condition, especially in a shrine. We so find it in the beautiful . . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN., RareBooksClub, RareBooksClub. Paperback. New.

Their son together with their nephew King John of England--Ieabel of AngoeUee Hegh de Leeignan, Coent de la Marehc 2nd bet eet eerviving en, eerdered in Italy e27e Leeignan Guy de Leeignan Count de Cognae end en I Clar Gilbert De Clare erd Earl of Glo, eeter and He. ord e26595 Aliee de Leeignan Henry, son of Richard oj Cornwall, took the cross; and the example set by these princes was followed by the Earls of Surrey and Gloucester, John de Warenne and Gilbert de Clare. And if the arms of Roger le Bigod were not included for the same reason, he was, in virtue of his office of Marshal, a personage of such high importance, and he had been so lately reconciled to King Henry, that in some such reasons as these may be found the motive for the honour which was thereby shown him. One last question--why were these shields placed in Salisbury Chapter House--is, it is to be feared, unanswerable. It is however almost certain--provided that the conclusions as to proprietorship and date here arrived at are correct--that they were not originally made for that position, for the building of the Chapter House was not begun till the reign of Edward I. was well advanced. But by whose orders the escutcheons were made, why and by whom they were given to Salisbury Cathedral, and when they were first placed in the position which they occupied till they were removed in 1828 to the great triple lancet in the nave, are riddles which still await their solution.
