Holy Crown of Hungary

Coronation crown used by Hungarian monarchs

The Holy Crown of Hungary, also known as the Crown of Saint Stephen, named in honour of Saint Stephen I of Hungary, was the coronation crown used by the Kingdom of Hungary for most of its existence; kings were crowned with it since the twelfth century. The Crown symbolized the King's authority over the Lands of the Hungarian Crown, and it was a key mark of legitimacy. Through the history of Hungary, more than fifty kings were crowned with it, with the last being Charles I in 1916. The only kings not so crowned were Wladyslaw I, John Sigismund Zápolya, and Joseph II.
