* Chron. Karnes. (Rolls), Annals of Burton (Ann. Mon. I. 183), p. 65, and below Appendix. The Anglo-Saxon Charters 173 these were "seals of majesty" correctly attached to unimpeachable charters. For although, as we have seen, a few original writs bearing the Great Seal of the Confessor are known to exist, together with other writs from which the seals have apparently become detached, no genuine charter composed in the Old English diplomatic formulas and authenticated by such a seal can be produ...ced. The importance of the above distinction between sealed charters and writs will be presently apparent', but it may be stated at once that this distinction presents a new view of the origin and use of the Old English and Anglo-Norman "seals of majesty. " It is perhaps unnecessary to make any difficulties with regard to the use of a pendent "seal of majesty" in this country. That such an ingenious device should have apparently originated in the English court which was destitute of any notarial establishment or traditions and which is supposed to have derived its diplomatic formulas from continental models would certainly seem to be a remarkable fact.
