Princes Risborough silver hawk treasure has royal link.
A 17th Century silver hawk ring found in a field by a metal detectorist has been linked with royalty.
The 8.23mm (0.3in) vervel, unearthed in Buckinghamshire in 2015, was worn by a hawk to identify its owner.
It has since been established it was owned by Robert Dormer, 1st Earl of Carnarvon - a keeper of the royal hawks who died in the English Civil War.
