Henry, by the grace of God, &c. Deliver from our Treasury to the Prior of Westminster, our gold spurs, which were made for our use at our first coronation at Westminster, which we have given for the new works of the chapel of the Blessed Mary, * Craven Ord, in his Inventory of Crown Jewels of 3 Edward III., published in 1790, states that one of the firstf lists of our crown jewels is contained in the letter of Margaret, Queen of France, to her brother Henry III. of Eng- land, dated 1261, when they were lodged in the church of the Knights Templars at Paris, which the said King afterwards gave his Queen Eleanor power to dispose of. Vide Rymer's Foedera, Vol. i. pp. 410, 435. The date of this list now published is 41 years previous to that contained in Rymer, which on comparison does not appear to relate to the same jewels. f An earlier list has been found by Mr. Hardy, and printed in his first volume of uPatent Rolls,” recently published.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b29340202_0032.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
