- Burse for the State Seal of embroidered velvet and satin, made in England, 1558-1603. (en)
- Object Type
The burse for the Great Seal of England was a very special kind of ceremonial purse made of rich materials and decorated with the current monarch's arms and initials. It was used to contain the Great Seal, which symbolised the majesty of the law in the same way that the crown symbolises the monarchy.
Royalty
Elizabeth I had five chancellors during her reign (1558-1603), each with a different burse for the Great Seal.
Historical Associations
On 29 April 1587 the Queen appointed the Vice Chamberlain Sir Christopher Hatton as Lord Chancellor. While staying at the Archbishop of Canterbury's Palace at Croydon, she delivered the Seal in its velvet bag to Hatton, asked him to seal a writ of subpoena (a summons) with it and then declared that he was to hold it as Lord Chancellor. He died four years later at his London house, in the area now known as Hatton Garden. (en) - British Galleries:
A burse was the ceremonial purse in which the Lord Chancellors of England kept the Great Seal, a symbol of the majesty of the law. They were intended to protect the contents from damage. A miniature portrait on display in gallery 57 shows Sir Christopher Hatton (1540-1591), Chancellor to Elizabeth I with a large burse which, from the decoration, may be the one on display.
