A superb document featuring a very large portion of the Second Great Seal of Elizabeth I – the Welsh Marches 1586 fine document in the name of Elizabeth I on a leaf of vellum dated 1586 being a special licence of livery granting William Compton his feudal lands on the Welsh Marches hitherto held by the Crown until he attained the age of his majority. Written in a neat secretarial hand in Latin in good condition throughout. Fine calligraphic introduction of the name of the Queen, and bearing a very large portion (about 75%) of the second Great Seal of Elizabeth I. Elizabeth’s second Great Seal was designed by the famous Tudor miniaturist Nicholas Hilliard who was goldsmith, carver and limner to the Queen. It is regarded as the most brilliant of all the English Royal seals and as such examples, which are rare, are avidly sought after by collectors. The seal, measuring approx 6 ins in diameter, features the Queen in Royal Robes as Sovereign of the Garter on the obverse with much symbolism, including her robes supported by hands issuing from clouds. On the reverse the Queen is shown holding the orb and sceptre, seated side saddle on a horse. This seal did not come into use until 1586 so that the example on the present document is clearly one of the first times it was issued. Walter Compton, William Compton’s father, acquired the Manor of Hartpury in Gloucestershire in 1551 and it remained in the Compton family until the end of the 19th c. Part of the Manor is now a University College and centre of sports excellence, particularly for equestrianism.
