The Austrian Crown Jewels ((ドイツ語:Insignien und Kleinodien)) is a term denoting the regalia and vestments worn by the Holy Roman Emperor, and later by the Emperor of Austria, during the coronation ceremony and other state functions.〔Leithe-Jasper 2004, p. 10.〕 The term refers to the following objects: the crowns, sceptres, orbs, swords, rings, crosses, holy relics, and the royal robes, as well as several other objects connected with the ceremony itself.〔Trenkler 2004, pp. 132–135.〕 The Austrian Crown Jewels are for the most part kept at the Imperial Treasury (''Schatzkammer'') in the Hofburg Palace in Vienna, Austria. They are a collection of imperial and royal regalia and jewels dating from the 10th century to the 19th. They are one of the biggest and most important collections of royal objects still in existence, and reflect more than a thousand years of European history. The treasury can be quantified into six important parts: * The Insignia of the Austrian Hereditary Homage * The Empire of Austria * The Habsburg-Lorraine Household Treasure * The Holy Roman Empire * The Burgundian Inheritance and the Order of the Golden Fleece * The Ecclesiastical Treasury The most outstanding objects are the insignia of the hereditary Empire of Austria. They consist of the Imperial Crown, the Imperial Orb and the mantle of the Austrian Empire, and the Coronation Robes of the Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia. The Imperial Crown, Orb, Cross, and Holy Lance of the Holy Roman Empire are also highlights. The first five parts are also called ''Weltliche Schatzkammer'' (secular/worldly treasury) and the ecclesiastical part the ''Geistliche Schatzkammer'' (spiritual treasury). The ''Schatzkammer'' is under the administration of the ''Kunsthistorisches Museum'' (Museum of Art History). == The insignia of the Austrian hereditary homage == Austria began as a small march and was later elevated to a duchy, then archduchy. The house of Babenberg and later the Habsburg dynasty were the margraves, dukes and later archdukes of this fiefdom. After the death of the last Babenberg duke, Frederick II in 1246, King Ottokar II of Bohemia took over for a while. He was, however, defeated by King of Germany Rudolf of Habsburg in 1278, with the help of his sons Albert and Rudolf. Rudolf then installed his son Albert as Duke of Austria. The enthronement ceremony of the new Archduke of Austria was not an actual coronation, but more a ceremony of homage by the estates. In the German language, this ceremony is called the ''Erbhuldigung''. The estates in parliament swore obedience to their new ruler, and he in turn guaranteed their rights and upheld their privileges. However, in this ceremony sovereign insignia were also used. The Insignia consist of the Austrian archducal hat or archducal coronet, which was made for Joseph II's entry into Frankfurt for his coronation as German king in 1764. The orb and the sceptre were in use as the royal insignia of the Kingdom of Bohemia until the early 17th century. * The archducal hat is kept today at the Klosterneuburg Monastery in Lower Austria. ''Please see archducal hat for further information.'' * The ducal hat of Styria is kept at the Landesmuseum Joanneum in Graz, Styria. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Austrian Crown Jewels」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
