The Golden Bull of Clement VII. confirming Henry VIII. in the title of Defender of the Faith, 1860. Creator: Unknown
The Golden Bull of Clement VII. confirming Henry VIII. in the title of Defender of the Faith, 1860. The title...which forms a part of the Royal style of British Sovereigns, was originally bestowed upon Henry VIII. in 1521, by Pope Leo X. in requital of that monarch's celebrated "Defence of the Seven Sacraments " against Martin Luther...The apostolical confirmation of Leo's rescript to which the seal is affixed is now in our Public Record Office, and forms one of its most valued treasures. It was granted by Leo's successor, Pope Clement Vll. in 1524, and in the exaggerated praises lavished on Henry it even exceeds its predecessor, though, so far as the title is concerned, it simply confirms the grant to the King himself - "Approbamus, confirmamus Tibique perpetuum et proprium deputamus". Henry was so gratified by the honour, however, that he continued to wear it after he had quarrelled with the Popes and denied them authority...The obverse of Clement's golden bull represents the customary heads of the Apostles St. Paul (on the right) and St. Peter (on the left); with the legend, "Gloriosi - Principes - Terrae - S. Pa - S. Pe.". From "Illustrated London News", 1860

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a rare and historic artifact, The Golden Bull of Clement VII, granting Henry VIII the title of Defender of the Faith in 1524. The title, which forms a part of the Royal style of British monarchs, was originally bestowed upon Henry VIII in 1521 by Pope Leo X in recognition of his defense of the Seven Sacraments against Martin Luther. The papal confirmation of Leo's rescript, to which the seal is affixed, is now a valued treasure in the Public Record Office. The confirmation was granted by Leo's successor, Pope Clement VII, and the obverse of the Golden Bull depicts the heads of the Apostles St. Paul and St. Peter with the legend, "Gloriosi - Principes - Terrae - S. Pa - S. Pe." (Glory to the Princes of the Earth, St. Peter and St. Paul). Henry was so pleased with this honor that he continued to wear it even after he had quarreled with the popes and denied them authority. This photograph, published in the Illustrated London News in 1860, offers a glimpse into the rich history of the British monarchy and the complex relationship between the Church and the Crown during the Reformation era.
