French Crown

The French Crown refers to the monarchy of France before the country became a republic. It symbolizes the monarchy's authority, sovereignty, and the ruling dynasty’s power. Historically, the Crown represented the sovereign’s legitimacy and central role in governance, law, and national identity. Over centuries, it evolved from a physical crown to an emblem of royal authority, often associated with the monarchy’s official symbols, proclamations, and ceremonies. The concept underscores the centralized power of the French king or queen, shaping France’s political and cultural history until the monarchy was abolished in the late 18th century.
