Crown of Saint Stephen
The Crown of Saint Stephen (Hungarian: Magyar Szent Korona, Croatian: Kruna svetoga Stjepana, Latin:Sacra Corona), also known as the Sacred Crown of Hungary, was used to crown Hungarian kings from the 13th century onward. The Crown was bound to the Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen, (sometimes the Sacra Corona meant the Land, the Carpathian Basin, but it also meant the coronation body, too). No king of Hungary was regarded as having been truly legitimate without being crowned with it. In the History of Hungary, 55 kings were coronated with it (only two kings were not coronated Sigismund Johann II, and Joseph II of Hapsburgs).
