Abstract (en)

Establishes the iconography of the English crown imperial from its beginnings to the mid-1570s. Argues that this history shows that Henry V established the practice of wearing a closed royal crown, and that this crown (which was not mentioned by Froissart), acquired the designation "imperial" during his reign. Shows that Henry VI, Edward IV and Richard III successively advanced the symbolism of the crown imperial; that Henry VII and Henry VIII (before the Reformation), exploited this symbolism in heretofore unnoticed ways, and that protestants at the courts of Edward VI and Elizabeth I invested the Tudors' crown imperial with new meaning.
