One double-sided lead seal in the name of Coenwulf, king of the Mercians (796-821) is preserved in the British Museum, but that's all. On the other hand, seals from outside the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms were known in England: four Roman/papal seals from between the seventh and tenth centuries have been found, and also one very interesting Merovingian seal-ring which may be in the name of Balthild - an Anglo-Saxon princess who became a queen in the seventh-century Frankish kingdom. There may well be others, as yet unpublicised or unidentified.<br /><br />Best wishes,<br /><br />RoryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8598901233005643161.post-64721381962759012302013-01-02T10:48:09.596-08:002013-01-02T10:48:09.596-08:00I wonder wow far back in time do we know that the ...I wonder wow far back in time do we know that the Anglo-Saxon Kings used seals. <br /><br />Is there any knowledge of use in the early years (- say 5th to 8th centuries Richard Denninghttp://www.richarddenning.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
