	Chaucer Scriptorium: Canterbury Cathedral
		In the easternmost reach of the cathedral stands an addition from the early 13th-century, the Corona or "Becket's Crown," just beyond the Trinity Chapel, where the great shrine of the martyr stood from 1220 until the Reformation.
		From Canterbury they returned with a badge of St. Thomas's head, or, as pictured, an ampulla containing a drop of his blood.
		Medieval pilgrims always returned home with some sort of proof of their journey to a particular shrine, be it the scallop from Compostela, the Keys of Peter and Paul from Rome, or the Virgin and Child from Walsingham.

	Henry IV of England - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unusually for a king of England, he was buried not at Westminster Abbey but at Canterbury Cathedral, in the Corona as near to the shrine of Thomas Becket as possible, that cult then being at its height, as evidenced by the Canterbury Tales by Chaucer, who was active at the court of Richard and Henry.
		Mary died in 1394, and in 1403 Henry married Joanna of Navarre, the daughter of Charles d'Evreux, King of Navarre.
		Henry took this to mean that he would die on crusade, but in fact it meant that, in 1413, he died in the Jerusalem Chamber in the house of the Abbot of Westminster.

	Catholic Teaching in Medieval Church Windows
		The windows of the "Corona" or ''Crown of Becket" chapel in Canterbury cathedral are devoted to the miracles of the martyr.
		The history of St. Mary of Egypt is narrated by a series of windows in Bourges cathedral;[3] that of the Cornish saint, Neot (said to have worked many miracles), by windows in the church of the Cornish village that bears his name.
		While the art of glass-painting -- or, as the early pot-metal work is more correctly described, glass-dyeing -- was thus employed in the development of "the speaking pane," the form, number, and tracery of church windows were gaining a sacred significance of their own for the devout eye, and teaching their own silent lesson.

	The Canterbury Interlude and Merchant's Tale of Beryn, Notes
		The six major stations of the church, visited as a sort of pilgrimage within a pilgrimage, have been described by W. Scott Robertson, "The Crypt of Canterbury Cathedral," Archaeologia Cantiana 13 (1880), 500-51, at 518-19.
		168-69 The other holy sites would include the corona with a severed piece of St. Thomas's scalp, the place of martyrdom, and the altar of the sword's point broken off when Richard le Breton attacked the archbishop.
		Much ironic symbolism is involved with the Pardoner's staff, since the pilgrimage staff was suggestive of a tumescent phallus, for example, at the conclusion of Le Roman de la Rose (lines 21,552-88).

	Chaucer Scriptorium: Canterbury Cathedral
		From the Corona, this 13th-century glass shows pilgrims praying at the old shrine of St. Thomas in the crypt, before his relics were translated to the much more opulent shrine in the Trinity Chapel (1220).
		From Canterbury they returned with a badge of St. Thomas's head, or, as pictured, an ampulla containing a drop of his blood.
		Medieval pilgrims always returned home with some sort of proof of their journey to a particular shrine, be it the scallop from Compostela, the Keys of Peter and Paul from Rome, or the Virgin and Child from Walsingham.

	FRANCOIS DENIS TRONCHET - LoveToKnow Article on FRANCOIS DENIS TRONCHET
		It is cruciform, with a central tower, and has an eastern octagon which may have been copied from the corona of Canterbury Cathedral, as Eystein, archbishop of Trondhjem (1160-1188) and an active builder, was in England during his episcopate.
		TRONDHJEM, or THEONDHJEM (sometimes written in the German form Drontheim), a city and seaport of Norway, chief town of the slift (diocese) of Trondhjem and the ami (county) of South Trondhjem, 384 m.
		It lies on the south side of the broad Trondhjem Fjord on a low peninsula between the fjord and the River Nid, its situation, though picturesque, lacking the peculiar beauty of that of Christiania or Bergen.
