As I wrote before, I believe that this crown was a rather late addition, by the "Boobs Retracer". I suppose that he drew an imperial crown as he knew it.
Too bad that that this identification does not give any restrictions on the date of that drawing. But I think it does give some clues as to where the Boobs Retracer lived at the time.
Apparently not in Italy or France, since the royalty there wore visibly different styles of crown.
It the date of the drawing is close to the 1400s, I suppose it limits the place to Austria and vicinity. But from the 1500s on, the candidate areas (the Holy Roman Empire) are much wider, including Germany, Spain, Southern Italy, and more. Is that correct?
Was that style of crown adopted by other dynasties, besides the Habsburgs?
