EPISCOPAL SEALS. IOI 
below each S.C. and S.B.; in base, under a round 
headed arch, full face three-quarter figure of Bishop, 
fully vested, hands joined in prayer. Pastoral staff 
curved outwards between to shields on masonry at 
sides; on left an eagle displayed, on right a bend 
and lable of three points Scroope. 
I have not been able to make out the inscription. 
This was the unfortunate Scroope, who after his transla- 
ation to be Archbishop of York, rebelled with the Earl of 
Northumberland and the Earl of Nottingham against 
Henry IV, and is the first instance in English history of an 
Archbishop perishing by the hands of the executioner (1405). 
WALTER SKIRLAW, 1385-1399, translated to Bath and Wells, 
1386-1388, and to Durham, 1388-1405. 
I have found no seal. His seals at Durham are very 
fine, where there is also Seal ad Causas, Privy Seal, and 
Seal as Count Palantine. 
Joun Burcuitt, Bishop of Llandaff, 1397, and Confessor 
to King Richard II, translated to Lichfield, 1399-1415. 
Pointed Oval. The Bishop under a rich canopy with 
tabernacle work at sides, fully vested; right hand 
raised in benediction; left hand holds pastoral staff, 
curved outwards; between two shields on right, Arms 
of Westminster impaling Royal Arms of England as 
King’s Confessor; on left, Royal Arms of England 
impaling a coat, which I believe to be that of France, 
if so, this will be incompliment Henry IV; in base, 
a shield of arms paly of 10 on a bend 4 escallops.
