Thanks? Anton! Do you have a reference for the Queen’s banning the export of copper for military purposes? I’ve found references to Charles I banning gunpowder exports a century later, but I don’t think I have anything from the 16th C yet. These early export controls are something I’m trying to pull together as part of my book.
The copper export ban was under Henry VIII, but remained on the statute books. I saw it mentioned, among other places, on p.49 of Eric H. Ash's "Power and Expertise in Elizabethan England".

Sorry, Henry VIII
