I trully appreciate content creators who look beyond the British hegemony - there so much content in English about the English, so little content in English about anything else. I really appreciate this opportunity to learn about things outside the British / American culture.
The cape is in Amsterdam where I saw it many years ago. What fabulous objects these all are. Such exquisite craftsmanship that could not be equalled today surely. So glad that these exist in museums where we can all see them.
Only a small correction because my professor here in aachen published a new study about the throne of charlemagne. It is safe to say that the throne was build way lather than charlemagnes reign. It was constructed maybe under otto 1 or his son. But besides this littel Information great video, i'd love to see more vids like that. Keep on the great work!

I would not have objected for a longer form video to explain all of the minutia of the articles of the regalia. Thank you for all of your hard work in creating this lovely video!
Thank you. I had always wondered about my German history. This showing of the regalia made me proud to have found your site. You explained every detail that was before me in those pictures. I also admire your magazine. I got my second one yesterday. I really recommend getting this magazine. Well worth the price for it.
Just a wonderfully done work, I do hope you may sometime talk and describe the coronation ceremony in the Holy Roman Empire. I find this part of history fascinating
Great video! Could Mr. Barton please consider making a video about the Imperial Roman Coronations and what is known about any traditions, customs, crowns, regalia and ceremonies connected to them? I think the Royal Roman / German coronations are well documented and across the millenium show quite some continuity. But I find it hard to get information of the Imperial Coronations
I am extremely appreciative of you expanding your content beyond just the English/British Monarchy. As much as I love it (and am a proud subject of His Majesty King Charles III), as a pan monarchist I want to find more information in English about non English Monarchist history. Have you ever considered doing a video on the Coronets of the Holy Roman Empire, like your one on English/British Coronets?
Absolutely extraordinary raiments and coronation jewels. The detail and workmanship is splendid and the role that Palermo played in their creation fascinating. I am very happy to see videos exploring the minutiae of ancient robes and jewels. Very thorough Allan and as always, thanks.
Very interesting review of topic. Loved the photography of those many beautiful items as well. Nice details, great research. Excellent presentation. 10/10. Los Angeles
Fabulous narrative. Fabulous photos. Unbelievable precious textiles. Appreciate everything you’ve done and what is promised on the Holy Roman Empire . Well, all your efforts really. Why place boundaries on it?😊
Again, Allan, your vast knowledge and research brings us a video unsurpassed. Thank you for this one, and the fascinating descriptions and histories of these elements of imperial coronations.
@@allanbarton top notch content as always, the variety of subjects and your way of presenting information are excellent. Concise, structured, coherent and we're never left wanting.
Fantastic as always. Reminds me of my trips to Vienna - I could spend all day in the treasury poring over the wonders inside. Truly a miracle that everything has survived in such good condition. In the future, do you think we could get an episode on the reliquaries of Charlemagne, in particular the magnificent golden chest in Aachen that contains what may well be his bones?
Each of these wonderful items could easily have an entire half hour video to itself. The workmanship on show is exquisite, and their survival quite astonishing. Thank you again for bringing this to the channel. As a side note, if there was a Charles the Bald, a Charles the Fat, and I believe a Charles the Mad, what epithet would we apply to our current Charles?
That is some insane textile survival, especially for silk, I wonder how they managed it. Also I didn't know that imperial orbs are Empire Apples in German, though the news kind of makes me want to eat the one depicted...would that automatically make me King of the Romans, I wonder?
These are so interesting, and further encourage the desire for more details. Great share! Enjoying your works so, I subscribed. Beth Bartlett Sociologist/Behavioralist and Historian Tennessee, USA
I always wondered what samite looked like, thank you! I have to say, though, that wirework for emperors doesn't seem to have evolved beyond what you could find in oh say Viking graves in Birka, it is all a bit wonky. Even the Sutton Hoo booty of some petty king in a dinghy looks better put together lol thank you these are wonderful. Would love to see one on the crown of Bohemia which looks for all the world like a bashed-together old thing or the Iron Crown of the Lombards
Perhaps worth adding that Carlemagne's ascention to the rank of Emperor was predicted on the Pope's assertion there was an interregnum in the Byzantine Empire due to the then Empress Irene being considered illigitimate. And more importantly the Byzantine Empire's increasing weakness in the Italian penninsular meaning it was unable to protect the papcy in the way Charlemagne had with the Lombards. So the aping of Byzantine forms is perhaps partly a conscious imitation of what was considered aesthetically 'imperial' at the time, but perhaps more importantly was designed to suggest that they were indeed the heirs to the imperial throne the Byzantines had forfeited, as indeed was the use of cameos and other artifacts from Roman antiquity.
Someone in the comments box has very interestingly told me that some recent study has concluded that it dates from the reign of Otto I. That would make a deal of sense. Looking forward to reading the study.
I'm sure there were tensions that existed between the peoples of this cobbled together polyglot empire, but it would appear, that the "defenders" of the various faiths had no issues engaging in commerce with those they considered "infidels".
I found all of this material fascinating. I was especially struck (stricken?) by the similarity between the outer garment (looks like a cope) for the HRE and the garment worn by King Charles at his coronation. Is there a connection, in time if nothing else, between the two? Is the symbolism the same or similar? I understand the English garment is for the sovereign in his/her role as the intercessor between their subjects and God, a semi-priestly role. Some of the other garments seemed similar as well. Do we know whether other kings or queens regnant were crowned with these kinds of garments? Spain? Portugal? the Scandinavian states? Russia? It would be interesting to see the relation of one country's rituals to others. Thank you for these wonderful videos. I do my best not to miss any of them.
So, 68 appliques on the Stole and 68 appliques on the Eagle Dalmatic, which may have been made separately. I wonder why 68. It's way to small to be the number of states in the Empire at the time the garments were constructed.
Ha, ha - no! What a name to be known by for posterity. It has been suggested that Charles the Bald was quite the opposite and was given the nickname as a joke as he was very hairy!
Was it not only those who were elected in their fathers' lifetimes that were crowned 'king of the Romans' e.g., Joseph II, while his father and brother were elected and crowned as emperors?
"Broad terms". I'll refer to Voltaire, allegedly. "Neither holy, Roman, nor an empire". Of course, this was after the 30 Years War, when it effectively had its gonads chopped off.

Thank you - it did end up being of epic proportions this one!
The longer, the better 😂
Absolutely!!!!!
Thanks for curating these timeless treasures. Given these many layers of clothing, this coronation would be uncomfortable if done in the summer.
Absolutely terrible, at least three layers!
Not to mention the trouble of sweating on or through the precious robes!
I trully appreciate content creators who look beyond the British hegemony - there so much content in English about the English, so little content in English about anything else. I really appreciate this opportunity to learn about things outside the British / American culture.
Glad to be providing variety!
The cape is in Amsterdam where I saw it many years ago. What fabulous objects these all are. Such exquisite craftsmanship that could not be equalled today surely. So glad that these exist in museums where we can all see them.
The entire set of Regalia is in Vienna, including the cape. If you saw it in Amsterdam, it might have been on loan or a copy.
Only a small correction because my professor here in aachen published a new study about the throne of charlemagne. It is safe to say that the throne was build way lather than charlemagnes reign. It was constructed maybe under otto 1 or his son.
But besides this littel Information great video, i'd love to see more vids like that. Keep on the great work!
That doesn't actually surprise me all that much if I am honest. I would like to read that study - any links?

"Honey wake up - another Allan Barton video just dropped!!!"
Fantastic as always Allan! Thank you for these amazing notes on history!
Thanks David - these objects are particularly stunning aren't they?
You are easily the best RUclips history channel, Dr Allan. Long may you continue!
Excellent, thank you. It's good that you let the camera linger for long enough on the images.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
Just a wonderfully done work, I do hope you may sometime talk and describe the coronation ceremony in the Holy Roman Empire. I find this part of history fascinating
Unusually for me am lost for words. Just such splendid things thank you Allan
They are amazing aren't they - it gives you some indication of the splendour of English medieval regalia and robes!
Great video!

Ooh brilliant a dr Allan upload got my coffee and revels all ready 😊
Amazing that the clothing has survived.in such good condition. Excellent video.
Yours is the only channel which I can like every one of your videos before I’ve watched them.

Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it ☺️
The fine artisans of Palermo must have worked their fingers right off to have created such a collection in a fairly short period of time.
Stitching on all those tiny seed pearls too - there are thousands of them.
An incredibly complex subject tackled in only 20 or so mins.
Great work. Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Again, Allan, your vast knowledge and research brings us a video unsurpassed. Thank you for this one, and the fascinating descriptions and histories of these elements of imperial coronations.
Glad you enjoyed it☺️
Brilliant as ever Alan, absolutely fascinating
Thanks Steve!
What a fabulous episode! Thank you so much, as always, for your thorough descriptions accompanied by beautiful visuals.
I've never seen such exquisite items of such great age! They must have been stored very well down the centuries! Thank you for letting us see them!
My pleasure, glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely fascinating, thanks for sharing this with us
Glad you enjoyed it
@@allanbarton top notch content as always, the variety of subjects and your way of presenting information are excellent. Concise, structured, coherent and we're never left wanting.
Oh great timing, I'm going to see them in Vienna next week.
I am greatly jealous!
Finally this video arrived!!! Im waiting since the first crown video. Excelent work!!
Wonderful thank you 👋👋👋👍
I’ve been waiting on this video! Thanks!!
It was a long one to produce! Glad you liked it.
Fabulous historical knowledge imparted to us as usual! Thank You Alan for all your hard work!👍👍
This is delicious and by no means too long. These aspects of history have been largely neglected in recent decades,but deserve time and study.
Yesssssssss
totally lovely, especially considering your limitations in time. Bravo.
Incredible! Wow. Just wow.
amazing!
Fantastic as always. Reminds me of my trips to Vienna - I could spend all day in the treasury poring over the wonders inside. Truly a miracle that everything has survived in such good condition.

They do don't they.
It's amazing that the regalia has survived so well.
That is some insane textile survival, especially for silk, I wonder how they managed it. Also I didn't know that imperial orbs are Empire Apples in German, though the news kind of makes me want to eat the one depicted...would that automatically make me King of the Romans, I wonder?

Thank you - it is getting there after two years of graft.
Any chance of you doing one on the crown of Blanche of England?
Here's one I made earlier! ruclips.net/video/RT7qvDJExD8/видео.html

A bit extravagant. I'm not jealous of all that finery...🧐 The lost gem sounds like a star ruby,maybe structured to allow several stars to be visible?
Amazing how Charlemagne’s throne still exists.
Someone in the comments box has very interestingly told me that some recent study has concluded that it dates from the reign of Otto I. That would make a deal of sense. Looking forward to reading the study.
Can we notice the irony of the coronation regalia of the HRE being covered with lots of arabic inscriptions?
I'm sure there were tensions that existed between the peoples of this
cobbled together polyglot empire, but it would appear, that the "defenders" of the various faiths
had no issues engaging in commerce with those they considered "infidels".
I found all of this material fascinating.

The name says it all the holy Roman Emperor!
So, 68 appliques on the Stole and 68 appliques on the Eagle Dalmatic, which may have been made separately. I wonder why 68. It's way to small to be the number of states in the Empire at the time the garments were constructed.
Could the damaltic have been used for the ceremony of anointing in the coronation?
There really is no evidence as to what it was for.
Can you tell me when gems started being brilliant cut?
The “heart shaped” stone is a sapphire, not an amethyst, and is probably of Ceylonese origin.
800 year old gloves and I can't make mine last one winter
👑❤🇳🇱
I wonder how much all of this regalia weighed when it was worn?
Do you think they called him" Charles the Fat" to his face?😊
Ha, ha - no! What a name to be known by for posterity. It has been suggested that Charles the Bald was quite the opposite and was given the nickname as a joke as he was very hairy!
Was it not only those who were elected in their fathers' lifetimes that were crowned 'king of the Romans' e.g., Joseph II, while his father and brother were elected and crowned as emperors?
There was no hard and fast rule until the later Hapsburgs.
Restore the holy roman empire.
"Broad terms". I'll refer to Voltaire, allegedly. "Neither holy, Roman, nor an empire". Of course, this was after the 30 Years War, when it effectively had its gonads chopped off.
