The King and the Crown of Thorns: Kingship and the Cult of Relics in Capetian France

by Jerzy Pysiak

The translation celebrations were a splendid religious festivity showing sacral foundations of the French kingship. The book discusses the translation of the Crown of Thorns on the background of both Carolingian historical memory in Capetian era and Carolingian and Capetian tradition of the royal cult of relics.
