The ailing king is forced to campaign, travelling his kingdom to fight the rebels.</p>
<p>With him travelled his court, his train, and his treasury, including the priceless Crown Jewels of England. King John would not survive this last campaign, and during his journey his baggage and the Crown Jewels were also lost, somewhere along his route.</p>
<p>King John’s infamous escapade in 1216 is said to have resulted in the misplacement of the Crown Jewels during his attempt to traverse The Wash estuary in Norfolk. One of history’s famed hidden treasures, archaeologists are now on a mission to restore and recover the lost booty of the man often thought to be one of England’s worst ever rulers.</p>
<p>Nestled in the Fenlands near Walpole Marsh, researchers have employed LiDAR technology. The location for the search has been carefully chosen, considering what it would have looked like 800 years ago: a vast marshland prone to flooding.</p>
