Quiz: How much do you know about crowns?

Whet your appetite for The Crown.

THE LATEST SEASON of The Crown is out tomorrow night.

This fourth outing of the gripping drama paints a turbulent picture of the British Royal Family, and hones in on the relationship between Charles and Diana.

And of course, I’m sure there will be plenty of crowns. I haven’t seen much of The Crown, but that’s what it’s about, right? Crowns?

Well, it better be, because that’s what this quiz is all about.

These, believe it or not, are the Irish Crown Jewels. What was their full title?
Jewels Belonging to the Most Illustrious Order of Saint Patrick
St Hibernia's Guardship of the Irish Realm

The First Crown of All Irish Peoples
The Eamon De Valeria Memorial Headdress
That picture in the previous question is such poor quality because it's from a police sketch, released by the Royal Irish Constabulary and the Dublin Metropolitan Police after the jewels were stolen, but from where?
Áras an Uachtaráin
Parliament House on College Green

This ancient Irish crown - the Comerford Crown - is really more of a golden hat. Many were found in Ireland, but this was one of the few surviving examples... at least until it was lost in France. Where was it first found in 1692?

    Tool. Imagine landing in Kabul, of all places, plastered. Can’t think the local cops would be too pleased to see a drunk and a drunk Russian. He’s lucky it landed where it did by comparison
