[1] In the reign of Edward II the influence of the Wardrobe diminished, and the Chamber regained its place of seniority within the Household.
The Privy Wardrobe was linked to the Chamber as a safe repository of jewels, plate and other treasures, as well as of arms, armour and artillery pieces.
The post then went into abeyance for a time; when it was revived, its main focus was on custody of certain jewels and gold and silver vessels.
In the last decade of the century, under Richard II, the office was again united with that of Keeper of the Privy Wardrobe in the person of John Lowick.
The Black Book of Edward IV of England lists its chief officer as 'Keeper of the King's Jewels and Treasurer of the Chamber'.
