to Introduction
The crown
which for centuries has occupied a vital place in Hungarian
history. The Holy Crown, which is today in the National Museum,
Budapest, was, to the best of our knowledge, never worn by Saint
Stephen. Over the course of time the original crown had fallen
into the hands of the Holy Roman Emperor Henry III, who reputedly
sent it to Rome, after which time its whereabouts became unknown.
