pp. 242, “Many people know of Colonel Blood’s attempt to steal the Crown Jewels during the reign of Charles II (1660-1685). However, Blood’s conspiracy wasn’t the first, and certainly not the most successful. In 1303, while Edward I of England was north of the Scottish border trying to crush William Wallace, he’d stashed his treasure safely in Westminster Abbey—behind iron-bound doors, in a place of sanctity which housed Christ’s body, not to mention pious Benedictine monks.”
