Guarding the Crown Jewels within the Hungarian National Parliament, Budapest, Hungary
The Holy Crown of Hungary, also known as the Crown of Saint Stephen, was the coronation crown used by the Kingdom of Hungary for most of its existence; kings have been crowned with it since the twelfth century. The Crown was bound to the Lands of the Hungarian Crown. It was smuggled out of Hungary for safe keeping to the USA and during the Presidency of Jimmy Carter it was repatriated to its rightful place in the domed hall of the National Parliament building.
