This wax seal stamp features the royal seal of Eiríkr II Magnusson (c. 1274–1299), known in English as Eric II of Norway. A king of the Fairhair dynasty (Ætt Haraldssona), his reign came near the end of an era in medieval Scandinavian history.
Eric II, or Eiríkr Prest-Háfði ("Eric the Priest-Hater"), ascended to the throne of Noregr (Norway) in 1280. His reign was marred by internal conflict and political struggle, yet his royal seal continued to represent the power and authority of the Norwegian monarchy. The design of the seal typically depicted the king seated upon his throne, a traditional medieval representation of sovereignty and divine right to rule.
This powerful emblem was used in official correspondence and royal decrees, sealing Eric’s authority in matters of governance, justice, and diplomacy. He was succeeded by his brother Haakon V, and the Fairhair male line, which had shaped Norwegian rule since the 9th century, ended a generation later.
This wax seal is perfect for collectors, enthusiasts of Viking history, Scandinavian royal history, or anyone who seeks to incorporate a piece of Norwegian heritage into their correspondence.
Each stamp is made of solid brass, supplied with a wooden handle and presented in a velvet pouch.
