Crown
The diadem or circlet worn by the king or monarch to signify their status, the Crown came to be imbued with a great deal of symbolic power, though the object itself was apparently worn seldom, mostly in court or for state occasions. Various monarchs during the high middle ages were from time to time forced to pawn their crowns to raise money, some of which were never recovered. Edward III's crown suffered such a fate as he was forced to borrow extensively to support his campaigns in France.
The term can also be used to refer to the person of the king, with an allusion to their power-'the crown'. Within the SCA , the term 'crown' does indeed refer to the person and to the office of the king, both.
