Crown of Rus
The Crown of Rus (Ukrainian: Руська корона, romanized: Rus’ka korona), also known as the Crown of Kingdom of Galicia–Volhynia, was the crown with which Daniel of Galicia was crowned in 1253 by a papal archbishop in Drohiczyn (Dorohochyn). The coronation of Daniel took place around the same time as Mindaugas.
The crowning of Daniel of Galicia is a debated topic, most historians landing around the year 1253, but the specific date is not known. Historian Mykhailo Hrushevsky wrote that the coronation took place in 1252, Vladimir Pashuto considered the date to be around 1254, and Mykola Kotlyar gives the year 1253. Daniel took crown from the hands of Opizzo Fieschi, a papal legate and nephew of Pope Innocent IV.
The crown is believed to have been lost. However, there are many speculations on where it might be located, including Poland, the Vatican, the United States, and Russia. Polish historian Eugeniusz Misiło believes that the crown was converted into a miter for Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church bishops in Przemyśl and searches for it in Polish monasteries.
After Ukrainian independence in 1991, work began on a replica, based on the drawings and historical data by the jewelers from Kyiv and Western Ukraine. The crown was finished in the 2000s and now part of a permanent exhibit of the Zolochiv Castle in Western Ukraine.
