HIC RESIDET HAROLD REX ANGLORUM. STIGANT ARCHIEP(I)S(COPUS).
"Here sits Harold King of the English. Archbishop Stigand". |
Who is this archbishop?
Wiley was intrigued by his name.....thanks Pete......
Looked a bit like Stigma....
1590s (earlier stigme, c. 1400), "mark made on skin by burning with a hot iron," from Latin stigma (plural stigmata), from Greek stigma (genitive stigmatos) "mark of a pointed instrument, puncture, tattoo-mark, brand," which is related to stizein "to mark, tattoo" (from PIE root *steig- "to stick; pointed" (see stick (v.)).
The figurative meaning "mark of disgrace or infamy which attaches to a person on account of evil conduct" is in English is from 1610s. Stigmas "marks resembling the wounds on the body of Christ, appearing supernaturally on the bodies of the devout" is from 1630s; earlier stigmate (late 14c.), from Latin stigmata, itself used in English in this sense by 1630s. |
A Stigillum is a Late Latin word meaning "seal", "stamp", or "little mark".
A stigma is a sign (label) that society attaches to someone, leading to prejudice, judgment, and discrimination.......
Harold is getting into trouble.....
