The legend of the accolade on the Tiber Bridge

Milvian Bridge - place of the legendary accolade

In later times the legend was that a Dalberger from Emperor Friedrich III. after whose coronation in Rome he was knighted on the Milvian Tiber Bridge , on Wolfgang III. based. From the event, his descendants later derived the protocol prerogative of the Dalbergers to receive the first accolade after an imperial coronation . But the legend probably has no factual core.
