The King's Wardrobe, together with the Chamber, made up the personal part of medieval English government known as the King's household. Originally the room where the king's clothes, armour, and treasure were stored, the term was expanded to describe both its contents and the department of clerks who ran it. Early in the reign of Henry III the Wardrobe emerged out of the fragmentation of the Curia Regis to become the chief administrative and accounting department of the Household. The Wardrobe received regular block grants from the Exchequer for much of its history; in addition, however, the wardrobe treasure of gold and jewels enabled the king to make secret and rapid payments to fund his diplomatic and military operations, and for a time, in the 13th-14th centuries, it eclipsed the Excheq

Successivamente il termine assunse un'accezione differente e già sotto il regno di Enrico III d'Inghilterra il Wardrobe divenne una derivazione della e chi ne era a capo era di fatti responsabile della corte regia. Il Wardrobe riceveva regolarmente fondi dallo Scacchiere; la presenza di questo denaro sempre a disposizione del sovrano consentiva inoltre al sovrano di compiere pagamenti segreti e rapidi per trame diplomatiche e operazioni militari, al punto che in particolare tra XIII e XIV secolo finì per (it)
