in the year 594 by the command. 1t is
said, of Theodolinda, the widow of a

gilt. Its significance was supposed to
lay In the fact that the weight of
royalty could never be lightehed by
its splendid exterior. The iron Of the
inner portion was traditionally held
to be one of the long nails used at the
crucifixion.
For a long time the crown was in
the keeping of the famous monastery

forth to be placed upon the head of
Charlemagne as King Of the Lom-
