Hmmm... Irgendwie erinnert mich das an eine Sherlock Holmes-Story ... 
In "The Adventure of the Musgrave Ritual" findet der nämlich die Krone von Charles I ... Nur der Romancier Watson passt nicht rein, der war nur in der TV-Verfilmung dabei ...

Im Moment fällt mir nur James Macpherson ein. Er hatte 1762 die Oden des Ossian entdeckt und damit das grandioseste gaelisch-keltische Nationalepos zu Tage gefördert. Leider hatte er nicht entdeckt, sondern selber geschrieben. Das war also ein Schwindel und wohl nicht der Gegenstand von deiner Frage.

Krone ist schon mal nicht schlecht....
Aber es handelt sich um ein reales geschichtliches Ereignis, keinen Roman. Der Romancier hat das wirklich erlebt und selbst getan, keine seiner Figuren.
Kleiner Tipp: er war sehr an romantischen Ritteridealen interessiert...

Edinburgh, 4th Feb. 1818
My dear Croker, - I have the pleasure to assure you the Regalia of Scotland were this day found in perfect preservation. The Sword of State and Sceptre showed marks of hard usage at some former period; but in all respects agree with the description in Thomson's work. I will send you a complete account of the opening tomorrow, as the official account will take some time to draw up. In the meantime, I hope you will remain as obstinate in your belief as St. Thomas, because then you will come down to satisfy yourself. I know nobody entitled to earlier information, save one, to whom you can perhaps find the means of communicating the result of our researches. The post is just going off. Ever yours truly,
Walter Scott
Edinburgh, 7th February 1818
My dear Croker, - I promised I would add something to my report of yesterday, and yet I find I have but little to say. The extreme solemnity of opening sealed doors of oak and iron, and finally breaking open a chest which had been shut since 7th March 1707, about a hundred and eleven years, gave a sort of interest to our researches, which I can hardly express to you, and it would be very difficult to describe the intense eagerness with which we watched the rising of the lid of the chest, and the progress of the workmen in breaking it open, which was neither an easy nor a speedy task. It sounded very hollow when they worked on it with their tools, and I began to lean to your faction of the Little Faiths. However, I never could assign any probable or feasible reason for withdrawing these memorials of ancient independence; and my doubts rather arose from the conviction that many absurd things are done in public as well as in private life, merely out of a hasty impression of passion or resentment. For it was evident the removal of the Regalia might have greatly irritated people's minds here, and offered a fair pretext of breaking the Union, which for thirty years was the predominant wish of the Scottish nation.
Die Schottischen Kronjuwelen - indem der König von Grossbritannien damit gekrönt werden konnte, wurde die Union von 1707 endgültig vollzogen.
