<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 1703472, member: 6444"]Yes, Latin. Certainly looks authentic. And may be from time of Queen (16th century) since it looks like it has a seal of Elizabeth on it as well. The intact seal makes it a lot better than most run of the mill old documents. If you search on liveauctioneers you'll see several similar that have sold. Here's a link to one that seems to have similar text, though a somewhat different seal: <a href="https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/18830718_elizabeth-i-queen-of-england-document-and-seal" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/18830718_elizabeth-i-queen-of-england-document-and-seal" rel="nofollow">https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/18830718_elizabeth-i-queen-of-england-document-and-seal</a></p><p><br /></p><p>A more recent one has sold for less, though still over $1000.
