An advanced form of crown of sonnets is also called a sonnet redoublé or heroic crown, comprising fifteen sonnets, in which the sonnets are linked as described above, but the final binding sonnet is made up of all the first or the last lines of the preceding fourteen, in order. The fifteenth sonnet is called the Mastersonnet. This form was invented by the [[Siena Academy]], which was formed in 1460, but there are no existing crowns of sonnets written by them. The form was first described by [[Giovanni Mario Crescimbeni]] in his work ''L'Istoria della volgar poesia'' (History of Vernacular Poetry), published in Venice, 1731 and later by [[P.G. Bisso]] in his ''Introduzione alla volgar poesia'' (Introduction to Vernacular Poetry), published in Venice, 1794. A variation on the form is sometimes used in which the binding sonnet is the first sonnet, and subsequent sonnets end with a line taken from it in order.<ref>Miller Williams' '[https://books.google.com/books?id=6tKkKBjY7eYC&dq=sonnet+redoubl%C3%A9&pg=PA202 Patterns of Poetry: An Encyclopedia of Forms]', Baton Rouge, LA, LSU Press 1986, p. 105.'</ref> The oldest complete crown which survived time was published in 1748. It was written by a group of 14 poets to celebrate the birth of the ideal woman: ''Corona di rime per festeggiare il natalizio giorno di fille''.<ref>''Corona di rime per festeggiare il natalizio giorno di fille'', Napels 1748</ref>

[[John Donne]] wrote ''La corona'', a set of 7 sonnets which are linked together. Because there are only 7 of them and because there's no Mastersonnet, ''La corona'' is not a full heroic crown.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.sonnets.org/donne.htm|title = John Donne}}</ref> Probably the first full crown of sonnets in English is [[Lady Mary Wroth]]'s ''A Crown of Sonnets Dedicated to Love'' which is from circa 1620.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bartleby.com/essay/What-Is-Love-Baby-Dont-Hurt-Me-PKQEW4L3RZYS|title = What is Love?

The children's book ''A Wreath for Emmett Till'' by [[Marilyn Nelson]] also follows the form of a heroic crown of sonnets.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.teachingk-8.com/archives/author_interview/_marilyn_nelson_poetic_justice_by_katherine_pierpont_senior_editor.html|title=Marilyn Nelson: Poetic Justice By Katherine Pierpont, Senior Editor from Teaching K-8<!-- Bot generated title -->|accessdate=23 June 2023|archive-date=4 February 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190204014755/http://www.teachingk-8.com/archives/author_interview/_marilyn_nelson_poetic_justice_by_katherine_pierpont_senior_editor.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>  Another well-known and frequent author of contemporary crowns of sonnets is [[Marilyn Hacker]].

''[[A Wreath of Sonnets]]'' ({{langx|sl|Sonetni venec}}) is the oldest Slovenian crown of sonnets, written by the [[Romantic poetry|Romantic]] poet [[France Prešeren]]. It was written in 1833 and was enriched with [[acrostic]] in the master sonnet. Prešeren's crown of sonnets was translated into Russian in 1889, which had great influence on many poets, including [[Valery Bryusov]]. [[Jaroslav Seifert]] wrote his sentimental ''Věnec sonetů'' (A Wreath of Sonnets) in this form about [[Prague]], with an authorized translation by [[Jan Křesadlo]], who also composed his own emigre [[riposte]] in the same format, as well as writing several other sonnet cycles. The poet [[Venko Markovski]] wrote and published more than 100 crowns of sonnets, which also contained [[acrostic]]s dedicated to various historical figures.
