The Holy Crown of Hungary, seen in the center, is also known as the crown of St. Stephen and has been used for the coronation of over 50 Hungarian kings. Contrary to the expectations of most, in its early days, noted by their wide noses and big lips, Hungary had African / black / Negro monarchs and Christian iconography as seen below with Charles I, Charles IV, and Leopold II. CHRISTIAN BIBLICAL FIGURES ON THE CROWN: Going counter-clockwise, with balls of woolly hair, are St. Andrew, St. Paul, Jacob, St. Peter, the arch angel Michael, and Joseph. Charles I coat of arms is of the Anjou family of the city of the same name which had Gallic origins and was visited by Julius Caesar. Charles IV was king of Bohemia (Prague) but had the title also as King of Hungary and Holy Roman emperor. Presented different in oil paintings after his death by legions of painters who had never seen him (as is the case in portrayals of almost all monarchs using the pure romantic fancy of the artist), Leopold II, like Charles IV before him, was King of Bohemia, King of Hungary, and Holy Roman Emperor. ..art, art history, Paul Marc Washington, paleoneolithic@yahoo.com
