The Monastic Spoils. 415 From the spoiling of shrines and relics, and from the pillage of cathedral and monastic treasuries, Henry amassed a booty of immense value. Putting on one side the actual jewels, which were undoubt- edly worth considerable sums of money, and the amount of plate subtracted by the royal com- missioners and other agents engaged on the work of gathering the harvest, the mass of ecclesiastical plate which reached the treasure house was very considerable. Besides the adornmen...ts torn from the tombs of saints and the reliquaries from out of which their bones had been cast, the plunder com- prised miscellaneous church ornaments of all sorts : sacred chalices and patens, monstrances for ex- posing the Blessed Sacrament and vessels for re- serving it, crosses and candlesticks for the altar, processional and pastoral staves, pontifical mitres, rings and gloves, cruets, censers and silver dishes of every kind, and even jewelled clasps torn from missals and other service books were conveyed to London to the king.* The sacred character of the greater number of the articles was no protection * Besides the weight of plate, a miscellaneous variety of eccle- siastical ornaments were brought to the treasure house.
