Dear Peter

Whilst reading 'The Dreadful Judgement' by Neil Hanson, I came across
the following statement:

" The King was deluged with petitions from desperate, destitute
citizens, many of whom were owed money by the monarch himself: 'John le
Roy, jeweller, for speedy payment of £357, balance due for a diamond
ring for the Countess of Castlemaine.' "

Although the book has a comprehensive bibliography, I can't tell the
source for this. £357 was obviously a massive amount in 1666, and could
have paid for the rebuilding of his home after the fire.
