 Thus we see, early in the reign of Henry III, the office of "Treasurer of the Chamber" annexed to (and taken over by) that of "Keeper of the Wardrobe".At around the same time the Keeper's deputy (the "Controller of the Wardrobe") was given oversight of the Privy Seal (which had first come into use within the Chamber).This meant that the Wardrobe, which already served as a repository of important documents and Charters, began producing them as well; and thenceforward its Controller tended to be an important and trusted adviser to the king.
