Refo500 Academic Studies, Volume 92: The Holy Crown and the Hungarian Estates: Constructing Early Modern Identity in the Kingdom of Hungary
Outline: How became a medieval crown a sacral object in use for modern nationalism? This book is about one of the most important elements of the political narratives in the history of Hungary in past and present: the Holy Crown of Hungary. This object is one of the oldest crown jewels which still has a political and religious significance today and is one of the most widely used symbols of modern Hungarian nationalism in our times. Surprisingly less is known how the sacral meaning of the crown has changed over the centuries and how this influenced the development of national identity in the early modern period. This book shows how the medieval tradition of the holy crown was revived and redeveloped into an ideology which is still present today.
