Seals - pre 1391
The Seals on this page cover the period up to 1391 namely that period before the death of {ZA16} Nicholas De Aldithley the 3rd Lord Audley of Heleigh. The title then passed through marriage to the Touchet Family and in 1405 {ZC2} Sir John Touchet (Knight) became the 4th Lord Audley of Heleigh The original seals (and seal moulds) on this webpage are in the British Library, The National Archives Kew and the National Library of France As Seals usually incorporate a Coat of Arms; this webpage should be read in conjunction with the Coat of Arms section of this website. The advantage with seals is that they are usually attached to a manuscript which can be dated |
