"The Imperial Crown" by Wilhelm Raabe is an account of German history covering the late middle ages (1254-1517). Excerpt: "On the fifty-third day of the siege, one and a half thousand years after the fall of Rome as a republic and nine hundred and seventy-seven years after Odoacer the Barbarian had exiled the boy emperor Romulus Augustulus to the estate that had once belonged to Lucullus in Catania, Constantinople had fallen. God placed two empires and twelve kingdoms in the hands of the son of Murad, Mehmet the Second. What Christendom in its comatose dullness, tearing itself to pieces in wars of religion and feuds between peoples and their princes, had been unable to defend itself against, had now happened. The great bogeyman had finally arrived."
One day during my writing I saw and consequently I took information about a "Royal Crown". I looked for any possibile source and I found only a few useless informations. My curiosity took me to investigate about this topic and I consulted any sorts of written informations without acquiring any interesting and detailed info as well as very few images. I believed that all of this was absolutely incomprehensible. I thought about all the people that would have been pleased to find some writing about this topic by grouping a specific kind of informations. Then I decide to write about this subject. My dearest friend, the Architect Giovanni Vitelli supported me with his brave ability both written and visual. It took me a couple of years of intense work to produce what now I take to your attention with the only ambition to enjoy you and to fill the empitness that at my time I had found about the royal crowns. If you would like this work I will rejoice.

The Crown is not only Canada’s oldest continuing political institution, but also its most pervasive, affecting the operation of Parliament and the legislatures, the executive, the bureaucracy, the courts, and federalism. However, many consider the Crown to be obscure and anachronistic. David E. Smith’s The Invisible Crown was one of the first books to study the role of the Crown in Canada, and remains a significant resource for the unique perspective it offers on the Crown’s place in politics. The Invisible Crown traces Canada’s distinctive form of federalism, with highly autonomous provinces, to the Crown’s influence. Smith concludes that the Crown has greatly affected the development of Canadian politics due to the country’s societal, geographic, and economic conditions. Praised by the Globe and Mail’s Michael Valpy as “a thoroughly lucid, scholarly explanation of how the Canadian constitutional monarchy works,” it is bolstered by a new foreword by the author speaking to recent events involving the Crown and Canadian politics, notably the prorogation of Parliament in 2008.

From the internationally acclaimed and bestselling historians William Dalrymple and Anita Anand, the first comprehensive and authoritative history of the Koh-i-Noor diamond, arguably the most celebrated jewel in the world. On March 29, 1849, the ten-year-old leader of the Sikh kingdom of the Punjab was ushered into the magnificent Mirrored Hall at the center of the British fort in Lahore, India. There, in a formal Act of Submission, the frightened but dignified child handed over to the British East India Company swathes of the richest land in India and the single most valuable object in the subcontinent: the celebrated Koh-i-Noor diamond, otherwise known as the Mountain of Light. To celebrate the acquisition, the British East India Company commissioned a history of the diamond woven together from the gossip of the Delhi Bazaars. From that moment forward, the Koh-i-Noor became the most famous and mythological diamond in history, with thousands of people coming to see it at the 1851 Great Exhibition and still more thousands repeating the largely fictitious account of its passage through history. Using original eyewitness accounts and chronicles never before translated into English, Dalrymple and Anand trace the true history of the diamond and disperse the myths and fantastic tales that have long surrounded this awe-inspiring jewel. The resulting history of south and central Asia tells a true tale of greed, conquest, murder, torture, colonialism, and appropriation that shaped a continent and the Koh-i-Noor itself.
The Crown: The Official Companion, Volume 1 by Robert Lacey Pdf
The official companion to the Emmy-winning Netflix drama chronicling the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, and starring Claire Foy and John Lithgow, The Crown by Peter Morgan, featuring additional historical background and beautifully reproduced archival photos and show stills Elizabeth Mountbatten never expected her father to die so suddenly, so young, leaving her with a throne to fill and a global institution to govern. Crowned at twenty-five, she was already a wife and mother as she began her journey towards becoming a queen. As Britain lifted itself out of the shadow of war, the new monarch faced her own challenges. Her mother doubted her marriage; her uncle-in-exile derided her abilities; her husband resented the sacrifice of his career and family name; and her rebellious sister embarked on a love affair that threatened the centuries-old links between the Church and the Crown. This is the story of how Elizabeth II drew on every ounce of resolve to ensure that the Crown always came out on top. Written by the show’s historical consultant, royal biographer Robert Lacey, and filled with beautifully reproduced archival photos and show stills, The Crown: The Official Companion: Volume 1 adds expert and in-depth detail to the events of the series, painting an intimate portrait of life inside Buckingham Palace and 10 Downing Street. Here is Elizabeth II as we’ve never seen her before.

Not illustrated. 1903 edition. Excerpt: ...peerages had been bestowed on colonists than the baronies of Mount Stephen. Strathcona and Macdonald of Earnscliffe--the last having been conferred on the widow of that remarkable statesman Sir John Macdonald, who would have rejoiced in the imperial significance of the Coronation. Divided from these warriors by the blazoned tabards of a line of heralds was an ornate cluster of high officials and nobles, who by long tradition walked in front of the sovereign. Here was the Lord Mayor of London exercising the ancient privilege of bearing the City Mace in this place of honour. Here was the Lord Great Chamberlain, whose hereditary function of fastening the clasps of the King's imperial mantle had been assigned to Lord Cholmondeley. Nearer the sovereign, the Sword of State in its scabbard was borne by Lord Londonderry, the grandnephew of Castlereagh, and the honour of bearing the most significant symbol on this great day fell to the Duke of Marlborough, who carried the Imperial Crown.1 In this group, surrounding the King, were two other dukes, the antiquity and splendour of whose names made them, in a historical sense, two of the most interesting figures in the pageant. The Dukes of Norfolk and of Somerset were, at the Coronation of King Edward VII., as their ancestors had been when Queen Elizabeth was crowned, at the head of the temporal peerage. Indeed, in her reign they were the sole members of the ducal order, which had otherwise become extinct, and even their titles were under attainder. The descendant of the Protector Somerset, towering above his peers, carried the Orb-, the emblem of world-wide sovereignty, which, since his grandfather bore it before Queen Victoria, had acquired a new significance. The chief of the house of Howard held...
