Comment

In 1001, Pope Sylvester II presented the Holy Crown to Duke Stephen, the first king of Hungary and patron saint of the country. It is one of the symbols of royalty and the country's emblem. It can be seen under the dome of the Hungarian Parliament, where it is protected by the Republican Guard. It was the property of the people, not the king.
In addition to his title of Emperor, the Austrian sovereign was King of Hungary after the coronation ceremony in the capital, Budapest.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

En 1001, le pape Sylvestre II a offert la Sainte couronne au Duc Etienne , premier roi de Hongrie et saint patron du pays . C'est l'un des symboles de la royauté et l'emblème du pays. On peut la voir sous la coupole du parlement où elle est protégée par la garde républicaine. C"était la propriété du peuple et non du roi.
En plus de son titre d'empereur, le souverain autrichien était roi de Hongrie après la cérémonie du couronnement en la capitale Budapest.
