 Articles - Diadem (personal wear)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
A diadem (from Greek ´diadema, diadeo´, to surround) was originally a white ribbon, ending in a knot and two stripes that were placed often on the shoulders, that surrounded the head of the king to denote his authority.
By extension, this term was applied later to a crown, generally with a circular shape.
For example, the crown worn by a Pagan drihten (Anglo-Saxon king) was a diadem, as was the crown of a baron later (in some countries surmounted by three globes).
