Maine () is one of the traditional provinces of France. It corresponds to the former County of Maine, whose capital was also the city of Le Mans. The area, now divided into the departments of Sarthe and Mayenne, counts about 857,000 inhabitants.

The province of Maine was named after them, in the 6th century CE as ''in Cinomanico'' (''in'' ''pago Celmanico'' in 765, ''*Cemaine'', then ''Le Maine'' from the 12th century). Early Middle Ages In the 8th and 9th centuries, there existed a Duchy of Cénomannie (ducatus Cenomannicus), which several of the Carolingian kings used as an appanage.

Greek Crown Jewels
The crown jewels of the Kingdom of Greece are a set of symbolic regalia (crown, sceptre, and orb) that were created for King Otto of Greece, Otto I shortly after his election to the throne in 1832. History After his election to the throne of Greece in 1832, Otto ordered a crown, orb, sceptre and sword from Fossin et Fils Goldsmiths in Paris; the sword, however, was made by Jules Manceaux. The regalia arrived in Greece in 1835 and was modelled on the regalia of Bavaria but they did not have any precious stones (especially the crown) and thus they resemble funerary European regalia. They were made of precious metals, mainly gold and perhaps partly silver. He established them as the royal regalia of the Crown of Greece but they were not used for a coronation as Otto was never crowned. In 1862, a coup overthrew Otto and the king was forced into exile; as he left returning to Bavaria he took with him the regalia. With his death, they were bequeathed to Prince Leopold, Otto's successor ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
