Lost seal of Edward the Confessor resurfaces after going missing for 40 years
An 11th-century Anglo-Saxon seal belonging to Edward the Confessor has been rediscovered more than 40 years after being declared lost. The wax impression of the "Saint-Denis seal" disappeared without official explanation in the 1980s from the Archives Nationales in Paris, where it had resided for almost 200 years.
