[FoxLee2]

It was the wife of Charles I who pawned the jewels, not the king

[Luv_The_Doc]

Edward III pawned the jewels to pay his troops during an overseas campaign. Charles I's wife also managed to pawn the Crown Jewels in Holland at the beginning of the Civil War.

So easy to Google

So weren't my answers acceptable - you had to rubberstamp them!

[Luv_The_Doc]

Sorry Foxlee, have I missed a rule that says only one person can answer a question?

[FoxLee2]

No rule, but why bother answering a question that has already been answered correctly.

[Luv_The_Doc]

Possibly because I'm a fairly new member of Answerbank and forgot to scroll down and check if it had been answered or not.
Anyway I would just like to thank you for making me feel so welcome.
