  • 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.

  • Gender-Bending Regalia in the Tomb of Constance of Aragon, Queen of Hungary and Sicily
    2018 V From Her Head to Her Toes: Gender-Bending Regalia in the Tomb of Constance of Aragon, Queen of Hungary and Sicily Christopher Mielke Article: From Her Head to Her Toes: Gender-Bending Regalia in the Tomb of Constance of Aragon, Queen of Hungary and Sicily From Her Head to Her Toes: Gender-Bending Regalia in the Tomb of Constance of Aragon, Queen of Hungary and Sicily Christopher Mielke INDEPENDENT SCHOLAR Abstract: This article re-examines József Deér’s claim that the crown uncovered in the tomb of Constance of Aragon (d. 1222) was originally her husband’s. His argument is based entirely on the shape of the crown itself, and ignores the context of her burial and the other idiosyncrasies of Frederick II’s burial provisions at Palermo Cathedral. By examining the contents of the grave of Constance, and by discussing patterns related to the size of medieval crowns recovered from archaeological context, the evidence indicates that this crown would have originally adorned the buried queen’s head. Rather than identifying it as a ‘male’ crown that found its way into the queen’s sarcophagus as a gift from her husband, this article argues that Constance’s crown is evidence that as a category of analysis, gender is not as simple as it may appear. In fact, medieval crowns often had multiple owners and sometimes a crown could be owned, or even worn, by someone who had a different gender than the original owner. This fact demonstrates the need for a more complex, nuanced interpretation of regalia found in an archaeological context.

  • Westminster Abbey ASERVICE to CELEBRATE the 60TH ANNIVERSARY of the CORONATION of HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II
    Westminster Abbey ASERVICE TO CELEBRATE THE 60TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CORONATION OF HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II Tuesday 4th June 2013 at 11.00 am FOREWORD On 2nd June 1953, the Coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II followed a pattern established over the centuries since William the Conqueror was crowned in Westminster Abbey on Christmas Day 1066. Our intention in this Service of Thanksgiving is to evoke and reflect the shape of the Coronation service itself. The Queen’s entrance was marked by the Choirs’ singing Psalm 122—I was glad—set to music for the Coronation of EdwardVII by Sir Hubert Parry. The Queen’s Scholars of Westminster School exercised their historic right to exclaim Vivat Regina Elizabetha! (‘Long live Queen Elizabeth!’); so it will be today. The coronation service begins with the Recognition. The content of this part of the service is, of course, not today what it was in 1953, but the intention is similar: to recognise with thanksgiving the dutiful service offered over the past sixty years by our gracious and noble Queen, and to continue to pray God saveThe Queen. The Anointing is an act of consecration, a setting apart for royal and priestly service, through the gift of the Holy Spirit. The Ampulla from which the oil was poured rests today on the HighAltar as a reminder of that central act. St Edward’s Crown also rests today on the High Altar as a powerful symbol of the moment of Coronation. In today’s Service, a flask of Oil is carried by representatives of the people of the United Kingdom to the Sacrarium, received by theArchbishop and placed by the Dean on the High Altar.

  • Relic Or Icon? the Place and Function of Imperial Regalia*
    Chapter 14 Relic or Icon? The Place and Function of Imperial Regalia* Akira Akiyama Even though the studies of Christian and Buddhist art have long had respec- tive traditions, only rarely are their research results compared. This essay at- tempts to take up a comparative religious art historical investigation.1 There is no guarantee that such a comparison will bring about remarkable results; however, through the process of comparing it is possible, by juxtaposing differ- ent perspectives on similar kinds of objects, at least to gain some stimuli, ideas, and expertise vis-à-vis the fields of both Western and Japanese or East Asian art historical research. We thus explore here the regalia of the Holy Roman Empire, Reichskleinodien or Reichsinsignien, and the imperial regalia of Japan, Sanshu-no-Jingi (Three divine objects). Regalia are some of the most popular objects in many cultures, and are often newly made at the coronation of a sovereign. In this respect the imperial regalia of the Holy Roman Empire and of Japan make interesting exceptions, because in both cases they have a long tradition and history. By comparing the dynamics of portable sacred objects— their translation into different local contexts—we discover that regalia func- tion as both relics and icons to differing degrees in various situations. Further still, the ambiguity of place in the series of moves, compounded by issues of visibility, complicates the function of sacred imagery. While relics are prin- cipally not duplicable, but dividable, icons are not dividable, but duplicable. Japanese imperial regalia, in contrast to those of the Holy Roman Empire, have not only a relic-like character, but also an icon-like character.

  • Rituals of Power and Symbols of Monarchy
    CHAPTER 2 Rituals of Power and Symbols of Monarchy The term rituals of power covers a rich and extremely varied complex of sym­ bolic acts, public displays of power and often extravagant festivities accom­ panying these ceremonies. Symbols of monarchy found perhaps their most conspicuous expression in the inauguaration rituals that provide the ceremo­ nial framework for a sovereign’s elevation to the sacral status of kingship. In medieval Europe this typically comprised enthronement, anointment and crowning ceremonies, recorded in ecclesiastical orders (ordines), which have been studied for many years.1 Ironically enough, there are almost no surviving records that depict all the phases of inauguration rituals (coronations in par­ ticular) in the medieval Hungary of the Árpád era (1000–1301). Throughout the entire early and high Middle Ages, we have to rely on sketchy references and vague clues for information on investitures in the Árpád dynasty. Hungarian coronations can be studied only from the late Middle Ages, beginning with the 14th century and, in greater detail, from the 15th century onwards. It is in nar­ rative sources from this period that the earliest more detailed descriptions of coronations survive, as well as in the first pontifical that includes the 1438 ordo coronationis. However, many historians believe that it can be safely assumed that the Pontificale Romanum, compiled by bishop William Durandus and widely used in Europe, had come into use in Hungary by the time of Louis the Great (1342–1382).2 The concept of the Holy Crown and the resulting unique 1 Die Ordines für Weihe und Krönung des Kaisers und der Kaiserin.

  • 3 King Foreigner and Pater Patriae
    3 King Foreigner and Pater Patriae When political legitimacy depended on the right of descent, the extinc- tion of a ruling dynasty spelled trouble. During the four centuries of Prˇemyslid rule, however, the Czechs created a state with enough territo- rial and institutional stability to weather these problems. Beginning with the later Prˇemyslids and continuing under succeeding dynasties, a politi- cal system emerged based on estates (lords, knights, towns, and some- times clergy), giving the Bohemian crownlands their characteristic politi- cal structure for the next several centuries. During those centuries, the fluctuating fortunes of the realm would also provide much material for later generations to shape into the historical myth-images of golden ages and times of darkness, of ‘‘a nation great in glory and suffering.’’1 The first years after Va´clav III inclined to the latter image. BOHEMIA UNDER THE LUXEMBURGS: MEDIEVAL HIGH-WATER MARK After Va´clav III’s death, his sisters Anna and Elisˇka repre- sented the legitimate Prˇemyslid line.

Finally a group of nobles and church leaders approached Henry VII of Luxemburg, King of the Romans since Albrecht’s murder in 1308.

    What is a monarchy? Monarchy is the oldest form of government in the United Kingdom. In a monarchy, a king or queen is Head of State. The British Monarchy is currently known as a constitutional monarchy. This means that, while The Sovereign (a supreme ruler) is Head of State, the ability to make and pass legislation resides with an elected Parliament. Although The Sovereign no longer has a political or executive role, he or she continues to play an important part in the life of the nation. What Is a Coronation? A coronation is a ceremony where a king or queen is officially given the crown of the country. It is a ceremony full of pageantry and celebration but it also has a solemn religious side. It is almost like a marriage ceremony between the monarch and their country. This is George IV’s coronation in 1821 What Is a Coronation? A new king or queen becomes the monarch at the very second that the previous monarch dies or abdicates (stands down). This is called ascension. The coronation happens a number A coronation is also a massive of months after ascension. This is event that needs an awful lot of because there needs to be time for planning so there needs to be a period of mourning where the plenty of time for the country thinks about the monarch organisation. that has died.
