Thomas Blood attempting to steal the Crown Jewels from the Tower of London in 1671 Size:M: 60 x 60cm Two characters from Shakespeare's playThomas Blood attempting to steal the Crown Jewels from the Tower of London in 1671, (1937). Although Blood (1618 1680) got his hands on the jewels, the alarm was raised and he failed to get out of the Tower. Perhaps surprisingly, Charles II pardoned him fully for the crime.
