The Great Seals of the Realm - King Henry VIII BU PP208778 history fansLimited Edition 10,000 Since the reigns of Edward the Confessor and William the Conqueror, seals have been used in Britain to symbolise the official will and authority of the monarch. Henry VIII, the notorious king from the mighty Tudor dynasty, often laid claim to the throne of France. The golden seal, or bulla, used to ratify the Treaty of Amiens between the king and his close rival Francis I, King of France, was specially created for that occasion.
