Summary
editDrawing of original seal of the Abbess and Convent of Syon Monastery, Isleworth. Seated above is the Virgin Mary, holding the infant Jesus in her right arm, in her left hand she holds a stem of lily, her attribute denoting purity. Below the founder of Syon Monastery in 1415, King Henry V kneels and prays to the Virgin and Christ above, by the intercession of St Bridget, standing behind. The royal arms of England appear on the right with the cross of St George, patron of England, on the left, apparently with a lily between each arm. The legend around the perimiter is: "S(igillum) commune monasterii Sc'i (sancti) Salvatoris de Syon london' dioc'...." Dated between 1415 (founding) and 1422 (death of H V). Printed in Aungier's History of Syon Monastery, London, 1840, p.106-7.
