The Three Brothers jewel of Queen Elizabeth I Posted by Kongetro on August 9, 2024, 9:09 pm I found this very interesting video on Youtube regarding a jewel worn by Queen Elizabeth I in one of her most famous portraits. I had actually not spotted this one before, but it must have been quite an item and rather well-known back in the days. It was interesting to learn how this specific item could be traced back to the goldsmith creating it and even the price paid for it when it was acquired the first time. If you enjoy history like I do I am sure you will enjoy the video too. If you haven't seen it already I highly recommend it.

Crown of Princess Blanche Posted by PaulP on August 15, 2024, 2:43 am, in reply to "The Three Brothers jewel of Queen Elizabeth I" Wonderful video! I have a subscription to Dr. Barton's YouTube channel and have greatly appreciated & enjoyed his presentations & scholarship. Readers who enjoyed your link would possibly like the video of the crown of Blanche of Lancaster - Palatine Crown. This 14th century creation was one of eleven crowns included in Richard II's list of treasures, and is the oldest surviving crown that had been part of the English royal treasures.

Three Brothers and Crown of Princess Blanche Posted by Juscha on August 16, 2024, 9:11 am, in reply to "Crown of Princess Blanche" Thank you, Kongetro and PaulP, reminding us of this incredible pieces of jewellery. The Antiquary has made a lot of this kind and his channel is worth a visit indeed. He also has made one about the coronet of Margaret of York, sister of Edward IV. of England and Duchess of Burgundy. Her crown now in the Dom Treasury of Aachen is one of few remaining medieval jewels of royal origins. These coronets as the three Brothers gave us a glimpse of the splendour of medieval and early modern times jewellery which were an important part of the power plays of this time. Another much earlier medieval crown (11th century) is in the Essen Cathedral Treasury in Germany, which comes from a connection of the canonesses to the imperial ottonic family. Regrettably I could not find any video. The only good fotos are to find at wiki: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Essener_Krone#/media/File:KinderkroneOttoIII.jpg The coronet of Blanche is indeed a tiny little thing. When I saw it in Munich years ago, I wondered how it could be attached to hair or a veil. After seeing the video, I was amazed at the exceptional craftsmanship that I missed during my visit to the Treasury. To many jewellery at a time, obviously… I`m happy to see a focus on a broader spektrum of jewellery and times here. It can guide us to so many aspects of our history… Previous Message Wonderful video!
