The Imperial State Crown was the most prominent symbol of the [[Holy Levantine Empire]] and remains in common use by the [[Apostolic King of Urcea]] in various Imperial functions. It was created in [[1602]]. | |||
The crown is in a {{wp|mitre}} style and has four golden panels, each of which depicting an important event in the history of the Empire: the coronation of [[Conchobar I, Emperor of the Levantines|Conchobar I]] as first [[Emperor of the Levantines]] in the 8th century; the coronation of [[Leo I, Emperor of the Levantines|Leo I]] following his reunification of the Empire in the 10th century; [[Saint Charles II|Emperor Carles II]] on campaign during the [[Crusades#First_Crusade_(1084)|First Crusade]] in the 11th century, and; the final victory of [[Leo III, Emperor of the Levantines|Emperor Leo III]] during the [[Great Confessional War]] in the 16th century, which had occurred in living memory of the crown's creation. Accordingly, the four events are divided into the two halves of the mitre, with the wearer's left being the "coronation" side, depicting the Conine and Leonine coronations, and the wearer's right being the "victory" side, depicting two Emperors defending [[Catholic Church|Catholic Christianity]] on the battlefield. Due to the appearance of Leo III, who was also the Apostolic King of Urcea from House de Weluta, the crown gained prominence over the Medieval Crown and other Imperial objects during the subsequent Imperial reigns of House de Weluta in the 18th and 20th centuries. | The crown is in a {{wp|mitre}} style and has four golden panels, each of which depicting an important event in the history of the Empire: the coronation of [[Conchobar I, Emperor of the Levantines|Conchobar I]] as first [[Emperor of the Levantines]] in the 8th century; the coronation of [[Leo I, Emperor of the Levantines|Leo I]] following his reunification of the Empire in the 10th century; [[Saint Charles II|Emperor Carles II]] on campaign during the [[Crusades#First_Crusade_(1084)|First Crusade]] in the 11th century, and; the final victory of [[Leo III, Emperor of the Levantines|Emperor Leo III]] during the [[Great Confessional War]] in the 16th century, which had occurred in living memory of the crown's creation.
