the ruler ("Wiener Weltliche Schatzkammer', Secular Treasury in Vienna) 
as well as the example of the glove of the king in England. In the 
Liechtenstein Treasure Chamber in Vaduz you may see the right hand 
glove of a suit of armour of Emperor Maximilian Il. (The Princely 
Collections Vaduz-Vienna), who was crowened to King in Frankfurt on 
Main. 
  
Conclusion: 
The glove played an important role in the law and the traditions of rulers, 
bishops, judges, able-bodied men and male heads of family. All secular 
legitimizations symbolised by the glove, these are male democracy, male 
jurisdiction, as well as rulership, all were based on war. Patriarchal 
authority made the family the nucleus of male dominance and the 
warring nation. The right-hand glove can be regarded as a symbol of the 
patriarchy (rule of the male heads of family and able-bodied men) as well 
as of male dominance in general from the high Middle Ages on until the 
beginning of the 19th century in whole europe. Relicts can still be found 
all over the world. The glove also played an important role in 
ecclesiastical world, for example the roman catholic church traditions of 
the pope, judges of the “santa rota della romana”, bishops, abbots and 
priests. 
We may draw an imaginary line of the historic development from about 
900 A. C. up to today, with the glove as a key to understanding, showing 
that the symbols were/are „also the matter itself“ (J. W. v. Goethe 
paraphrased) and that it is possible to lay down the glove as insignia of 
forced power and the use of weapons as well. Women started their 
emancipation in the 18" century, men at the end of the 20^" century. Both 
of them want to abolish the still ruling power of glove in all kinds.
