Documented folklore from the Club 49 map, told straight and sourced.
Britain’s best-documented royal loss. In October 1216, King John of England lost his entire baggage train, the crown jewels of the Angevin kings among it, in the tidal quicksands of the Wash while fleeing across the estuary. Contemporary chroniclers recorded it. The treasure has been hunted for eight centuries in the silt of Lincolnshire and never found, and it may simply be scattered under farmland that used to be sea. A real documented catastrophe that became a treasure legend.
The Wash estuary, Lincolnshire (England). Source: A real 1216 royal treasure loss, hunted for 800 years. The Club 49 map pins this legend at its documented country, beside the real mines, active claims, land status and modeled honey holes of the same ground. Open the free map and go stand in the story.
