Encyclopedia > Norwegian Royal Regalia

The crown jewels, or royal regalia, of Norway include nine regalias: The king's crown, the king's sceptre, the king's orb, the queen's crown, the queen's sceptre, the queen's orb, the crown of the crown prince, the sword and the anointing horn. The regalia of the king and the anointing horn were made for Carl Johan in 1818 to his coronation in Nidaros Cathedral. The regalia of the queen were made later. All these crown jewels are made in Sweden. The crown of the prince is the only one crown jewel made in Norway, in 1848. The sword was a gift from Carl Johan to the norwegian state. Its origin is somewhat obscure, it is said that he got it from Napoleon I, but it is believed that it is only the sheath and that the original sword has been replaced by a new one. Following Carl Johan, Carl XV and his wife Louise of the Netherlands were next in line to be crowned in Norway, in 1860. Then Oscar II and Sophie were crowned in 1873. The last ones using the regalias were Haakon VII and Queen Maud. The crown of the prince has in fact never been used. Crown prince Olav was too little to participate in the seremony in 1906. The coronation was rejected in 1908. The regalia is together with some other old treasures placed in Nidaros Cathedral, in Trondheim.
