Title
Medieval Bulla of Honorius III from Northorpe
Description
English:  : Lead

Document Seal. Bulla of Pope Honorius III (reigned 1216-1227). Cast disc with the standard hammered papal 'logo', in good condition.

Obverse description: Papal title over three lines within pelleted border, reading: HONO/RIVS/.PP.III.

Reverse description: Facing busts of Saints Paul and Peter with a Latin cross between them, each bordered with pellets and all enclosed in a pelleted border. The faces are identified: SPA [St Paul] and SPE [St Peter]. A groove between the faces indicates where the cord attaching the bulla to its document ran through it.

Pope Honorius III was a scion of the Roman nobility with a background in administrative service to the Church. As Pope he devoted much energy to fruitless lobbying of secular rulers to undertake a new Crusade to recover the Holy Land, to the repression of Cathar heresy in southern France, and to the establishment of the Franciscan and Carmelite Mendicant Orders.
