28. Great Seal of King Henry I., circa 1100. From Cotton Charter, ii. 2 (in British Museum). The instrument is a confirmation of the gift of Newton by "Radulfus filius Godrici," and is witnessed by Queen Matilda and others. See Tanner's _Notitia_, p. 339, Norwich. The material of the hauberk is represented by that honeycomb-work so often observed in seals of this period, and which appears to be one of the many modes in use to imitate the web of interlinked chain-mail. The leg does not shew any markings as of armour, but these may have disappeared from the softening of the wax, and the prominence of the seal at this part. The helmet is a plain conical cap of steel, without nasal: the spur a simple goad. The lance-flag terminating in three points, is ensigned with a Cross. The shield is of the kite-form, shewing the rivets by which the wood and leather portions of it were held together. The peytrel of the horse has the usual pendent ornaments of the time. 119 29. The various modes of expressing the armour in the Bayeux Tapestry. 121 30. Great Seal of King Stephen. Drawn from an impression among the Select Seals in the British Museum, and from that appended to Harleian Charter, 43, C. 13. The helmet seems to have had a nasal, but the seals at this part are so imperfect that it cannot be clearly traced. Behind is seen a portion of the lace which fastened the coif or the casque. The body-armour is noticed at page 122. Compare woodcut, No. 42. 122 31. Various modes of representing chain-mail on medieval monuments. 124 32. From Harleian Roll, Y. 6. The Life of Saint Guthlac. Date, about the close of the twelfth century. The figures wear the tunic, hauberk of chain-mail, and square-topped helmets, of which one only has the nasal. The triangular shields are suspended round the neck by the _guige_: their ornaments are mere fanciful patterns, not heraldic. No armour appears to be provided for the lower part of the figures. This Roll is further curious from having, at the back of it, drawings of about a century later date. 127 33. From Harleian MS. 603: a Latin Psalter of the close of the eleventh century. The figure is a pen-drawing, and represents Goliath. Compare the crowned figure in woodcut 13, from Cotton MS., Claudius, B. iv., and the warriors in the Bayeux Tapestry. The hauberk appears to be of chain-mail. This manuscript has many drawings of military costume and of weapons. 129
