The Lost Jewels of King Edward II - A Treasure Hunt in Berkeley

According to historical records, King Edward II entrusted his favourite knight, Sir Quillan Ink, with the task of keeping diaries detailing the exact location of the King's priceless jewels. After the King's imprisonment and transfer to Berkeley, Sir Quillan bravely slipped away along with the precious gems and hid them away in Berkely. He created a map of possible hiding spots, along with clues to the hoard, just in case one of the plots to free Edward II was successful. But, they were never recovered… until now?
