The Crown of Mary of Modena was the consort crown of Mary of Modena, queen consort of England, Scotland and Ireland, wife of James VII & II. ==Origins== Traditionally, where a monarch is married, his queen consort is crowned with him at his coronation. Under Oliver Cromwell's rule, all of the ancient English crown jewels had been destroyed. When Charles II was crowned in 1661 he was not married, so there was no need to create a new consort crown. When however his younger brother, the Duke of York became James II & VII, it was necessary to make a new crown for his queen, Mary of Modena. In fact, three items of royal headgear were created; a * coronation crown * state crown, and a * diadem or headcovering. Mary of Modena's coronation crown no longer exists. However her state crown and diadem still are held in the Tower of London. 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「Crown of Mary of Modena」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
