A hoop crown (German: Bügelkrone or Spangenkrone,[2] Latin: faislum),[3] arched crown, or closed crown, is a crown consisting of a "band around the temples and one or two bands over the head".[4] First used by the Carolingian dynasty,[5] hoop crowns became increasingly popular among royal dynasties in the Late Middle Ages,[6] and the dominant type of crown in the Modern Era.[7]
