Captain Blood tried to steal them during the reign of Charles II; it was always rumoured Charles himself was behind the plot, hoping to flog them off (Blood was captured but got off remarkably lightly).

King John lost his crown jewels in the Wash Steve - in 1215 I think while he was fleeing to Newark.
