King Henry 111 - 1250 - Two Silver Long Cross coins - discovered in a treasure chest in 1908 Belgium - part of a trove of silver coins worth a Kings Ransom - possibly to be used for political bribes by Richard of Cornwall, King Henrys’ younger brother, in his bid to be elected Holy Roman Emperor - he was successful, even though the treasure never reached its destination, as Brussels was in the midst of a civil uproar and it became too dangerous to travel any further with these millions, the treasure chest was secretly buried under a cistern in a tavern, until an accidental discovery almost 700 years later. 1793 Illustration of the 1216 Coronation of King Henry 111 (by Strutt)
