Description
The emergence from the Dark Ages is embodied in the rise to power of the Frankish King, Charlemagne in 768 (founder of the Holy Roman Empire after 800) followed by conquering southern Europe from France to Italy and much of Northern Europe. The condition for peace was the acceptance of Christianity, under the penalty of death. The conversion was effective and Northern Europeans, primarily Saxons, wore a small cross to affirm their Christianity. This example is just under 1" in total height with a centered cross beam and expanded beam terminals. A square at the junction with a saltire, (St Andrew's cross) on each side. Delicate proportions. Professionally refurbished with the 24karat gold surface restored, on a gilt Sterling silver neck chain for contemporary wear. Gift boxed with certificate of authenticity.
