Upon Masinissa’s return to Africa(actual Tunisia) he had to either pass through Massaesylian territory, his archrivals, or through Mauretanian territory. Choosing the latter, he was provided with 4000 Moorish cavalry units by King Baga of Mauretania that stayed with Masinissa until he reached the borders of his own kingdom.Livy ''Ab Urbe Condita Libri'' 29.30 Baga also provided military support during the final chapter of the Second Punic War in the fight against Hannibal.

It originated during the reign of Edward IV with the storage of documents regarding treason and writs of attainder. With the reign of Henry VIII, however, its character changed to concentrate more on the sovereign's most intimate and domestic matters which the Crown wished to keep from prying eyes. The subjects of its contents included Anne Boleyn, Catherine Howard, Lady Jane Grey, Walter Raleigh, the Earl of Essex, Guy Fawkes, and other such cases. The closet which succeeded the ox-hide pouch was locked with three separate locks, the keys to which were in the possession of the Lord Chief Justice, the Attorney General, and the Master of the Crown Office.
