| Summary: | Between the thirteenth and seventeenth centuries, Saint Maurice's Ring was the main insignia of sovereignty of the Dukes of Savoy. Each sovereign passed on power to his successor by giving him this ring. Duke Charles Emmanuel I (1580-1630) placed it at the core of a careful communication strategy, involving prominent painters, writers and historians active in his court. The poet Flavio Frugoni wrote that the ring symbolized the marriage between God and the House of Savoy. The duke also used it to claim the German origins of his House. By the middle of the century, though, the ring gradually lost its importance. The Holy Shroud became thereby the main religious symbol of the House. |
