Legend has it that crown jewels, gold and money were lost in the medieval mud of the fens in 1216.

It was the year after the Magna Carta was sealed, the country was in revolt and King John was having to quell rebellion uprisings. He had been travelling from the port of King's Lynn to Lincoln when, according to historical chronicles, the treasure was lost.

It has since become one of the most sought after troves in the country.

Now, clues about the disappearance of King John's treasure have been unearthed in a "game changing" archaeological survey, according to historian and archaeologist Ben Robinson.
