Notes |
Depicted here is the royal seal of Queen Elizabeth I of England, used during the second half of her reign, from 1586-1603. Thus, this is not the seal mentioned in the text as having been used with Raleigh's patents of colonization granted by Elizabeth. They are, however, still rather informative. The British National archives link provided above provides some particularly interesting and informative information regarding what we can learn from the iconography of the seal. |
