[edit] Crown

If the crown was made in the late 10th century, then why was Conrad II the first be crowned with it? Also, Otto III placed his crown on Boleslaus' head at the Congress of Gniezno. Is it possible that this was the same one, or was it an earlier one? Appleseed (Talk) 03:01, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

It is unclear whether the crown was made by Otto I (in which case Otto II could have been crowned with it), Conrad II (in which case Henry III could have been crowned with it) or even Conrad III. The name Conrad included in the crown suggests a Conrad though it could have been a later addition. I myself would go for Conrad II. Str1977 (talk) 13:36, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
