There are several pictures with other flags, but not with the hungarian flag. And I’m a half hungarian so…here it is!

Cool, huh? To be more precise, I was born in Nuremberg (Germany), grew up there and still live there today. But with the exception of my sister, my whole family comes from Hungary.

Thank you. After your post I made some research and found out this was a legend perpetuated by polish chronicles written in XIII century. Unfortunately not the thing that Snoops.com covers so I’ve got fooled.
 
Well it may be a lie, but a nicely told.

The End wasn't The End - Found a new home after the great exodus of 2012

@Pathfinder  
That’d make for a great story (and not one I personally would be in any way ashamed of), but I wonder if you’re confusing two different crowns and stories here…or reciting a version or interpretation I have not heard before.  
The “Hungarian Crown” that was the part of the Polish crown jewels is a different one from the one received by Stephen.  
Stephen and Boleslaw could have interacted, but I never heard Boleslaw’s Crown (which is a separate jewel) and the Holy Crown of Hungary ever connected in this way.
 
The cross though only became crooked in the 17th century, so that part can empathically not be true.  
(There are romantic stories about the cross, including ones about its many thefts, but the unromantic answer is probably that it was simply damaged because of mishandling, such as closing a lid on it.

I have only good feelings about Hungary starting with good historical relations and ending with food. But every time I see its coat of arms I remember that skewed cross is symbolic of damage that the first Hungarian crown revived when it was stolen. By way of robbery. By Stephen I, first king of Hungary. During time it was travelling from Vatican. To Poland for future Bolesław I for his coronation. And Pope shrugged and said “Maybe the crown was for polish, but you got it first. Fair enough. I met my quota for christian rulers in the eastern Europe.”. And then he made Stephen saint. And his son. And his grandson. I’m not in any way upset about it, but I consider it funny story and hilarious start of diplomatic relationship between Hungary and Poland.
