Summary/Abstract: The Hungarian Holy Crown doctrine involves lot of legal values. Among others such values, which was later relatively similarily expressed in Bodin's sovereignty theory. The ideas about an abstract, supreme power became commonly accepted in the West in the 16-17th centuries. Because the ancient Hungarian constitutional thoughts gradually have been projected on the Holy Crown, therefore it is important the age of the Holy Crown. The writing tries to find the first European crown that resembles the shape of the Holy Crown. The probably first cross-strapped, closed crown was Theodahad's property AD 6th century. This Italian ruler is closely connected with the former Hun Empire through his uncle, Theoderic the Great. The writing refers a story of the Eastern Huns from BC 3th century, which is closely related to one of the important thoughts of the Holy Crown-doctrine.
