Notes
A crown described by Archbishop Dubricus as capable of uniting Britain. It offers the conroi a sacred alternative to following Uther toward war with Cornwall.
Open questions
- What is the crown’s origin?
- Where is it kept?
- Can it restore the consequences of the House of Constantine for Sir Geraint and Assterius?
Timeline
- (490) — After Sir Madoc’s funeral, the conroi faces a choice between Uther’s path toward Cornwall and Dubricus’ quest for the crown. (Source: Session 032 - Madoc’s Funeral and the Question of Britain’s Crown)
Session 033 update
- Archbishop Dubricus’ vision reframes the “crown” as a brilliant golden object taken from Glastonbury by a dutiful fisherman, carried north past forests, mountains, and two walls, and cast into an elm-shaded lake. The fisherman never wears it, so whether it is literally a crown remains uncertain. (Source: Session 033 - The Crown Quest, the Siege of Exeter, and the Giant Erge)
- The clue now overlaps strongly with the missing Holy Grail: the Grail was taken north about a century ago by a descendant of Joseph of Arimathea, while the Spear of Longinus and piece of the True Cross remain at Glastonbury. (Source: Session 033 - The Crown Quest, the Siege of Exeter, and the Giant Erge)
- 490: At Loch Lomond, the party continues treating the crown as the object thrown into the lake and suspects it may also be Grail-like. (Source: Session 036 - The Sun-Water of Loch Lomond and the Road to Merlin)
