Dating first from about this period are a number of inventories of personal ornaments; and it is by a perusal of the inventories of the most wealthy, and particularly those of sovereign princes, that an estimate can be obtained of the nature of every type of ornament in use at the period, in its most elaborate form. Among the earliest and most important royal inventories that have been published are those preserved in the Wardrobe Account (_Liber Quotidianus_) of Edward I, for the year 1299.[37] The jewels (_jocalia_) include a large number of morses or clasps (_firmacula_) given by the king to bishops, and restored after their deaths, and similar objects offered by the king or queen to various shrines; while among other jewels are brooches or nouches (noucheæ), many rings (_anuli_), a pendant (_pendulum_), belt (_zona_), bracelet (_braccale_), and baldrick (_baudre_). About this time masses of precious stones, the spoils of the Crusades, began to find their way into this country, and to be employed for "broidering" or sewing upon the garments. Edward II and his extravagant favourites, such as the worthless Piers Gaveston, loaded themselves with precious stones. Lists of jewels belonging to Gaveston on his attainder in 1313,[38] and to the king in 1324, show the magnificence of their ornaments, and the vast sums at which they were valued. The king's jewels,[39] described in considerable detail, are inventoried under the following headings: (_a_) Stones and other objects, (_b_) Crowns of gold and silver, including _cercles_ and _chapeletz_, (_c_) Brooches (_fermails_) of gold, (_d_) _Fleures de liz_, (_e_) Rings (_anelx_) of gold, (_f_) Girdles (_ceintres_) and diadems (_tressoures_). From this time onward there is an increase of such documents and of wills, and also of sumptuary laws specially connected with personal ornaments.
