Talk:Crown (heraldry)

Poland and Croatia
I've seen the crowns all all European Catholic countries...except Poland. Poland should be added since it was a major partner in the Europe of kings. Also, Croatia shouldn't be forgotten. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.208.114.219 (talk) 09:16, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

German Prince
Sorry, but a German Prince is (was) not similar to the rank of a marchess. There were two types of German princes - the sovereign prince (like The Prince of Schaumburg-Lippe) and the titular prince (like Prince Bismarck). The equivalent to the british marques was the markgrave (like the markgrave of Baden) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.88.117.149 (talk) 07:05, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

The best name
Heraldic crown might not be the best name for this article so I hope someone has a better suggestion. I'm thinking Crown (heraldry) is one option at least. Inge 13:47, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Silly question: What's the best name? The counter-question is: can there be any? I think the title you chose tells one exactly what one is up to. It's about crowns in heraldry and not about physical ones to put on the head. But if I should make a suggestion I'd say: "Crowns in Heraldry". Whether that suggestions is really better then the one you suggest, I don't know. But speaking of it, in case you want to put some illustrations in it, here are two blasons I made.

In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

Old Ducal Hat
What's the deal with it? Does anyone have any more information about it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.92.143.23 (talk) 05:27, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

It isn't a coronet, but a cap of maintenance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.95.188.31 (talk) 15:35, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Origin of crowns?
Given that crowns are ubiquitous in the history of Europe (at least) does anybody know their origin? Was it in Ancient Rome? I think this article should address this issue. 79.97.64.240 (talk) 23:27, 13 January 2014 (UTC)


 * As crowns are older than heraldry, their origin is outside the scope of a heraldry article; see instead Crown (headgear). —Tamfang (talk) 22:52, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks. That's exactly what I was looking for. 79.97.64.240 (talk) 14:42, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Heraldic crowns?
The crowns in the article for the King and Queen of Norway are not the crowns actually used in the Norwegian Royal Coat of Arms. They are not Crown (heraldry) but stylized versions of the real crowns used i. a. at the last Norwegian coronation in 1906.Hans Cappelen (talk) 16:25, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

Image gallery
As of this edit, easily 3/4 of this article's content is an extremely extensive non-prose gallery of images. Deleting 3/4 of an article's content is not a decision I make lightly, but WP:NOTGALLERY, which is part of our content policy, reiterates that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a repository of links, images, or media files. There is really no utility in duplicating within this article media content which can be found on Wikimedia Commons without encyclopedic prose.

Doge of Venice/Genoa
The crown/hat, which is refered to as Doge of Genoa in the article, is described as Ducal Crown of the Doge of Venice on it's Wikimedia page. Also it's depicted on the coat of arms of the Republic of Venice. --Mielas (talk) 17:31, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

Danish crowns
The coronet for marquesses doesn't match the ones used by the only two marquesses ever created by Danish kings.

The ducal crown also seems weird in a Danish context. Dukes are extremely rare in a Danish context outside of the royal family. What is the source for the coronet? Dukes are not to be found in this 1746 chart.

The chart also mentions a coronet for the Gyldenløve family. Shouldn't this be included in the article as well? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Regicollis (talk • contribs) 08:59, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

Is the Heraldic Coronets of Baron and Count (alternative) the wrong way round? FranzSebastianvH (talk) 23:23, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
