Excerpt from Stories From the State Papers
In 1567 Queen Elizabeth was informed of the confused and perilous state of the records of her Parliament and Chancery, and orders were given for roon s to be prepared in the Tower for the reception of these parchments, her Maj esty declaring that 'it was not meet that the records of her Chancery, which were accounted as a principal member of the treasure belonging to herself and to her crown and realm, Should remain in private houses and places, for doubt of such danger or Spoil as theretofore had happened to the like records in the time Of Richard II. And Henry VI.' This order was, however, never executed, and the records continued to be lodged in their ill-kept dens. On the accession Of Charles II., William Prynne, then keeper of the records in the Tower, implored the merry monarch 'to preserve these ancient records, not only from fire and sword, but water, motl s, canker, dust, cobwebs, for your own and your kingdom's honour and service, they being such sacred reliques, such peerless jewels, that your noble ancestors have estimated no places so fit to preserve them in as consecrated chapels or royal treasuries and wardrobes, where they lay up their sacred crowns, jewels, robes; and that upon very good grounds, they being the principal evidences by which they held, supported, defended their crowns, kingdoms, revenues, prerogatives, and their. Subjects, their respective lands, lives, liberties, properties, franchises, rights, laws.'
