Coronet

Coronet
The circlets worn by the members of the Royal family other than the king, and by members of the nobility, especially after the middle of the 15th century.
Within the SCA, coronets have a particular meaning. Dukes can wear coronets that feature strawberry leaves. Counts, earls and the equivalents, each of whom has emerged victorious from Crown Tournament one time, have embattled coronets. Viscounts, who have attained the victory in a Coronet list, are entitled to a pointed coronet. Court barons have coronets with pearls. The standards for coronets vary from kingdom to kingdom in the SCA, as they did in Europe for the period.
14th century small, open crown of nobility, less decorative than royalty.
