An archaic or Middle English spelling of crown, used in medieval texts.
From Old French corone, from Latin corona. This spelling reflects how the word appeared in Middle English before modern standardization.
Medieval scribes wrote 'coroun' with that 'ou' vowel combination because Old French (the language of the Norman conquerors) heavily influenced English spelling for centuries!
