  • From Charlemagne to Hitler: the Imperial Crown of the Holy Roman Empire and Its Symbolism
    From Charlemagne to Hitler: The Imperial Crown of the Holy Roman Empire and its Symbolism Dagmar Paulus (University College London) [email protected] 2 The fabled Imperial Crown of the Holy Roman Empire is a striking visual image of political power whose symbolism influenced political discourse in the German-speaking lands over centuries. Together with other artefacts such as the Holy Lance or the Imperial Orb and Sword, the crown was part of the so-called Imperial Regalia, a collection of sacred objects that connotated royal authority and which were used at the coronations of kings and emperors during the Middle Ages and beyond. But even after the end of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, the crown remained a powerful political symbol. In Germany, it was seen as the very embodiment of the Reichsidee, the concept or notion of the German Empire, which shaped the political landscape of Germany right up to National Socialism. In this paper, I will first present the crown itself as well as the political and religious connotations it carries. I will then move on to demonstrate how its symbolism was appropriated during the Second German Empire from 1871 onwards, and later by the Nazis in the so-called Third Reich, in order to legitimise political authority. I The crown, as part of the Regalia, had a symbolic and representational function that can be difficult for us to imagine today. On the one hand, it stood of course for royal authority. During coronations, the Regalia marked and established the transfer of authority from one ruler to his successor, ensuring continuity amidst the change that took place.

  • Archaeologia: Miscellaneous Tracts
    ARCHAEOLOGIA: OR, MISCELLANEOUS TRACTS, &C. I.—Remarks on a Portrait in the possession of Earl Stanhope, P.8.A. represent- ing the Empress Leonora of Portugal, mother of Maximilian I. By GEORGE SCHARF, Esq. F.S.A., with additional observations by AUGUSTUS WOLLASTON FRANKS, Esq. V.P., in a Letter to Mr, Scharf; together with Notes on a Portrait in the Dresden Gallery, by DR. JULIUS HUEBNER, Curator of that Gallery. Read May 23rd, 1867. I FEEL much honoured by permission to offer a few words upon the curious and finely-preserved portrait of the Empress Leonora, mother of the great Maxi- milian, which our noble President exhibits before the Society this evening. It had for some time been supposed to represent one of our English monarchs living after the middle of the fifteenth century, and the words " Henry 6th," although written in somewhat recent characters on the back of the oak panel, tended considerably to strengthen that impression. The arched crown was favourable to the name which had thus been suggested. The richness, however, of the jewellery, and the peculiar construction of the crown, combined with a singular arrangement of lacing the dress in front of the neck, had always excited considerable feelings of uncertainty as to the correct- ness of the attribution. The very long rich brown hair, and the golden damask robe, patterned with crimson and faced with white fur, were peculiarities of costume somewhat hard to reconcile with the more generally known portraits of our English monarchs of that period. VOL. XLIII. B 2 Portrait of the Empress The picture (of which a chromo-lithograph is given in Plate I., reduced to a scale of two-thirds of the original,) may be described as a bust-portrait, with the face seen in three-quarter view, turned towards the spectator's right.

Financial Obligations 1 HISTORY OF THE COURT In 1964, singer/performer/female impersonator/social and political activist, Jose Sarria was invited to attend The Tavern Guild’s Ball – a social and fundraising event in San Francisco. After being declared “Queen of the Ball” at this event, Jose decided “they couldn’t make me queen; I was always the queen, so I declared myself Empress Jose the First!” Thus, the Royal Court System has begun; evenings of fundraising that would include fabulous gowns, big hair, jewelry, elaborate make-up, and titles. This system raises money for various causes and charities through drag performances and events. As the Court System grew to what it is today – 70 chapters and growing throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico – so has the line of succession and the heirs apparent to the throne.

    SELECTION OF THE COLLECTIONS AT THE HOFBURG SITE Exhibit and press photos KHM-Museumsverband Imperial Treasury Vienna The Crown of Emperor Rudolf II, subsequently the Crown of the Austrian Empire Jan Vermeyen Prague, 1602 © KHM-Museumsverband As the Crown of the Holy Roman Empire was used exclusively for coronation ceremonies, emperors and kings commissioned their own personal crowns. This personal crown was commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II. The goldsmith Jan Vermeyen crafted an object of exquisite quality at his Prague workshop. When Francis I proclaimed the Empire of Austria in 1804, the Rudolfine ‘house crown’ acquired a new constitutional function as the new Austrian Imperial Crown. KHM-Museumsverband Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna – Picture Gallery Family of Emperor Maximilian I (1459–1519) Bernhard Strigel after 1515 © KHM-Museumsverband The painting commemorates the First Congress of Vienna in 1515 and the resulting union between the Habsburgs and the Jagiellonian royal family. It depicts Emperor Maximilian I and his first spouse, Mary, Duchess of Burgundy, with their son Philip between them: in the foreground, Maximilian’s grandchildren, the later emperors Charles V (centre), and Ferdinand I (left), and Louis (right), heir to the kingdoms of Hungary and Bohemia. KHM-Museumsverband Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna – Imperial Armoury Ceremonial sword of Emperor Frederick III (IV), son of Ernest, Duke of Austria between 1440 and 1452 © KHM-Museumsverband The attribution of this ceremonial sword to Emperor Frederick III arises out of the Austrian red-white-red coat of arms and the Roman-German royal coat of arms, both of which feature on the blade. The German royal eagle situates the timeframe within which the sword must have been made.
