For hundreds of years, generations of English people have been unable to forget King John because he trapped the priceless treasures of the English royal family in the swamp, leaving future generations unable to remember them for hundreds of years. I came to search endlessly, and there are different opinions.

Although the king had a poor reputation throughout his life, he was well educated, highly educated and had elegant taste.

John's greatest specialty is the appreciation of jewelry. During his reign, he collected many very precious jewelry.

John continued to expand his collection. Among the jewelry he collected, there were several rare treasures that he bought through brokers in continental Europe. Out of love, he always carried these jewels with him and had a special box made for them. But sometimes for safety reasons, he also scattered part of the collection to monasteries across the country for safekeeping, but he asked his men to mark them in the list very carefully. Among the treasures he entrusted for safekeeping were a large crown from Germany that was used by the widow of German Emperor Heinrich V, Empress Mathilde, when she was coronated, and a cardinal's short-sleeved tunic. , a belt studded with gems, a silk curtain worn by Heinrich V during his coronation, a huge sapphire, a gold scepter with a golden dove, two swords, a gold cup and a gold cross. On October 11, 1216, John traveled from Rennes to Visbaei. When John arrived at the city of Rennes, he had already collected countless trophies from various places, and there were more and more treasures in the sturdy boxes in the army. , he had to order those luggage to be left in Rennes City.

Subsequently, when passing through the Wellstream River, John suddenly discovered that the ground in the water suddenly cracked, and the whirlpool swept all the troops and the gold and silver treasures they carried to the bottom of the water. John himself was at the scene. Seeing that something was going wrong, he wanted to go find someone for help, but was forced back by the approaching river water. In the blink of an eye, the English king lost not only his army, his chariots and horses, but also all the jewels he had collected over the years and the valuables he had taken out of the monastery storerooms. Everything sank. In the quicksand of the Wellstream River. The treasure is estimated to be worth around ￡2 million.

John was already suffering from dysentery, and in the blink of an eye he lost all his jewelry. He was so angry that he soon became terminally ill. The Abbot of Croxton heard John's deathbed confession and performed his final unction.

On October 19, 1216, John died in Newark and was buried in Wall Cheshire Cathedral.
