Line 237:
* Venetian Doges were expected to constantly wear stiflingly luxurious bling. On the other hand when one of them had a scepter made and took to carrying it around with him, it made Venetians so angry that one of his counselors actually grabbed it and smashed it.
* The Koh-I-Noor diamond was passed from monarch to monarch according to the fortunes of war until it ended up in the possession of the British Crown.
* Palaces, personal gardens, hunting parks, etc might count.
**In Medieval England the royal estates were also a chief source of revenue. If a King remains at peace he could reasonably rule without calling Parliament for taxes(as indeed [[Elizabeth I]] tried to do with surprising success). Of course many kings would have extravagances and sometimes necessities that prevented that.
