Summary/Abstract: The author portrays the relation between two problems of the medieval kingdom of France: the apocryphal 11th-century legend about Charlemagne bringing the Crown of Thorns to the kingdom of the Franks and its reception in 11th–13th century literature, and reconstructing the actual Capetian cult of relics. In the author’s opinion between the 11th and 13th century both phenomena of the spiritual culture of Capetian France were shaping the religious ideological foundations of the Capetian dynasty.
