LOSS OF CROWN JEWELS IN THE WASH
On 12 October 1216, much-maligned English King John attempted to cross the Wash, an
estuary in the East of England. However, he misjudged the tide, leading to his precious baggage
train being claimed by the advancing waters, including the crown jewels.
John has always had a tough time from historians. The son and younger brother of famous
warrior Kings  Henry II and Richard the Lionheart he is best known for losing Englands
Norman possessions to the French, going to war with his own barons and eventually being
forced into signing the Magna Carta. The loss of the crown jewels merely added insult to injury.
