The Medieval Crown of Princess Blanche of England
The Crown of Blanche of England, known as the Palatine Crown, is a survival from the fourteenth century and is one of the greatest treasures of the medieval goldsmiths' craft. Once part of the crown jewels of England, since 1402, it has been in Germany. In this video, I explore the design of the crown, where it was made and for whom, and its long history.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
