Steal Crown facts
While investigating facts about Steal Crown, I found out little known, but curios details like:
The Queen Consort of Hungary in the 1400s, Elizabeth of Luxembourg, after being widowed, asked her chambermaid to steal the physical crown of Hungary, and the chambermaid wrote a book about the successful heist.
The Priory of Sion, a secret organization dedicated to installing a Merovingian dynasty on the thrones of Europe, was actually a hoax concocted by one wily Frenchman in 1956 to steal the crown of France. Dan Brown featured the Priory, presented as fact, in "The Da Vinci Code."
In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across. Here are 4 of the best facts about Steal Crown I managed to collect.
