In the German-language handover document of the imperial regalia to King Charles IV from 1350, the mantle is mentioned with the following description: A red cloak of St. Charles with two robes of good stone, pearls and gold. This shows that both the coat and the imperial crown were wrongly attributed to Charlemagne, who was canonized in 1165.

The Imperial Sword (Latin: Gladius Imperatoria, German: Reichsschwert) is one of the four most important parts of the Imperial Regalia (Reichskleinodien) of the Holy Roman Empire. During a coronation, it was given to the emperor along with the Imperial Crown ( Reichskrone ), Imperial Sceptre ( Reichszepter ), and the Imperial Orb ( Reichsapfel ).
The Imperial Cross (Latin: Cross Imperatoria, German: Reichskreuz) is part of the Imperial Regalia of the Holy Roman Empire. It served as the container for the two "Great Relics of Christ" (Perveniens Reilquias magna Christi, Großen Reliquien Christi): the Holy Lance in its horizontal arms and the reliquary of the True Cross in the lower shaft.
Of the imperial regalia of the Roman emperors, previous to the Byzantine era, little remains. The best-known examples, and those with the strongest claim to authenticity, are a sceptre, some fittings for Roman standards, and other small items, all from a cache buried on the Palatine Hill c. the 3rd or 4th century AD, and discovered in 2006.
