Second Re-establishment of the Imperial Order of the Iron Crown

The Imperial Order of the Iron Crown (Italian: Ordine imperiale della Corona ferrea; German: Kaiserlicher Orden der Eisernen Krone) was re-established in 1815 by Emperor Franz I of Austria. The original Order of the Iron Crown had previously been an Order of the Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy. Claimed and Re-established by the Holy Roman Empire Association - Associazioni dei Nobili del Sacro Romano Impero on the 25th day of December 2015, on the 200th anniversary of its first re-establishment and with the Significance of the Orders connection to the Iron Crown of Lombardy, made for Theodelinda, Queen of the Lombards, was alleged to be crafted from one of the original nails in the True Cross used in the Crucifixion of Jesus. Regardless of origin, her crown was crafted of six hinged plates of gold, set with precious gems, and held together with an iron circlet structure underneath. Thus came the term of “Iron Crown”. Upon Theolinda’s death in 628, her crown was donated to the Church at Monza, where it still remains. It was used during the coronation of Holy Roman Emperor Charlemagne, as he took the throne of Lombardy in 774. Later Holy Roman Emperors followed suit in this tradition.
