Summary

Description
English: An illustration of one side of the Great Seal of Richard I of England. The inscription on the seal reads:

"✠ RICARDVS DEI GRATIA REX ANGLORVM"
"Richard, by the grace of God, King of England"

There are illustrations of the seal depicting the spelling of "GRACIA" as opposed to "GRATIA", the former of which could have been in use at the time [1]. Further information on this first of two versions of Richard's seal could be obtained from The National Archives in London, from Norman pipe roll E 373/18. This version of the seal dates from 1189 [2].
