Specifically, I’m talking about their signet rings, seals, etc.
Couldn’t someone just make a copy? Or make one that looks extremely similar?
Imagine “hacking” the king. You could start wars or do whatever you wanted just by getting a letter sent somewhere.
I understand it’s not as easy as it sounds and one would have to first obtain said seal or wax imprint from a letter or something but I’m surprised I’ve never heard of it being done.
EDIT: Anyone else now wanna see a movie get made about someone (or some team) pulling off a ‘heist’ like this?? Obviously set back in the olden days.

You probably could but it’s a lot of effort for.. what exactly? Start a war… how? Send a mean letter and the guy reading it is like “huh, thats weird. This letter didn’t come from the usual currier, isn’t in Henry’s handwriting and doesn’t read like something he’d say. I’ll reply back through the usual channels and see what’s up.”
Or maybe “Hey I own this town now – see? I have a letter from the King!” Sure bro, sure you do. So, I’ll be throwing you in the river now.
