Brian Barker, celebrated author of When the Queen was Crowned, presents a compelling examination of the physical and symbolic objects — from crowns and sceptres to orbs and swords — that invest a sovereign with power and authority. With a foreword by J.P. Brooke-Little, MVO, Richmond Herald of Arms, the book draws on deep heraldic and historical expertise to illuminate how these ancient artefacts connect the present monarchy to centuries of tradition. Written with scholarly authority yet accessible to the general reader, it stands as an essential reference for anyone fascinated by the pageantry and history of the British Crown.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888015159515,"sku":"2026200009605-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/035d2497-b791-4624-8ffe-441213774ceb.png?v=1781752840","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009605-secondhand-the-symbols-of-sovereignty","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
