Salve Regina, the first words of the antiphon, addressed to the Blessed Virgin Mary, said after Lands and Compline, in the Roman Catholic Church, from Trinity to Advent. It dates from the 11th century, but first found a place in the Breviary of Cardinal Quignon (1536), and thence was adopted into that of Pope Pius V. (1568).
