As the coronation of King Charles III approaches, let’s take a look back at how this ancient ceremony has played out in England and Scotland over the past thousand years and ask why are coronations important, what will happen at the coronation and conversely, what won't happen at the coronation? This video from History Calling will look at the purpose of coronations, historically and in modern times and at all the constituent parts of the ceremony, from the procession to Westminster Abbey and within it, the recognition, the coronation oath (and how it has changed over the years), the anointing with holy oil and the actual moment of crowing in St Edward’s Chair, commonly called the coronation chair using St Edward’s Crown and sitting atop the Scottish Stone of Scone aka, the Stone of Destiny. We’ll also look at how a Queen consort is crowned, the practice of paying homage to the new monarch, the procession back to the Buckingham Palace, the appearance on Buckingham Palace’s balcony (which is quite a new innovation) and the other events held on or around coronation day. In the past these would have included a coronation banquet, but that practice was discontinued in the 1800s for reasons which I’ll explain. Now we have things like coronation tours, coronation concerts and coronation broadcasts. So sit back and relax, as I take you everything you need to know about why and how a monarch is crowned. I’ll also discuss some specific past events, including the coronation of William IV, the coronation of Queen Victoria, the coronation of George V, the coronation of George VI and the coronation of Elizabeth II in 1953.

@charlesmaximus9161 Год назад

With all due respect, I wouldn’t necessarily call us “uninvolved”. We were monarchists at one point in our history; people here seldom remember this. Our last monarch was His Majesty King George III. And, contrary to popular belief, he was actually a wonderful king who loved his American subjects very much. So much love had the Crown for it’s British-American colonials that they sent us over 20,000 of their best troops to protect us from incessant and often very brutal French and Algonquian raids, which killed countless Americans. But that’s another can of worms, I reckon. If you ask me, I think a strong, humble monarchy would do this broad land quite good. As historian Charles Coulombe rightly pointed out, we certainly do not deserve it. The democracy craze has gone on long enough. “In Hell there is democracy; in Heaven there is a kingdom.” - Saint John of Kronstadt.

I'm going to be watching it at home on the TV as I don't want to miss one-second of it. My mum (born 1940) remembers the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, mum was 13 at the time, she was a 'Girl Guide' and remembers watching it on her grandfathers 'new TV' and wearing her Girl Guide uniform and also many neighbours joining them to watch it on TV and then everyone having a celebration - I think we'd call it a street party today.

What happened to her was tragic of course, but they were already divorced. She would never have been crowned Queen even if she was still alive. I'm not sure that that makes it any better mind you. She might have lived long enough to see William crowned and it would have been lovely for her to be able to see that.

Thank you for mentioning the Champions during the Coronation Banquet. I am a direct descendant of the Dymoke family. I know a lot about the ceremony and some interesting tidbits about what happened at some of them. It should be noted a Dymoke still holds the Championship, and that his role in the coronation today is that of the Royal standard bearer. That’s it. I liked the older ceremony better.

Great video! If I remember correctly I believe I heard that there are going to be no coronets, in fact, not many peers were invited. Considering that The Act of Union has existed since the very early 18th century, I don't believe that a coronation in Scotland is warranted. Wasn't that the point of Union?

@HistoryCalling Год назад

Oh yes, the Union did make two separate coronations unnecessary, I was just curious as to whether people thought a separate Scottish one might be a nice idea.

No. One coronation is enough. Although Charles III is their king, Scotland doesn't need one, since they're part of the United Kingdom. Some other countries, however, might have a better case for a separate coronation. These would include Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and a bunch of others.

It would appear that I made a "morganatic" marriage and and I am doomed to my proletariat origins for time eternal. 😢

@Judykag Месяц назад

I always thought the monarchy was so special. Steeped in tradition and so ancient. However now, with Charles as king it is clear they really do nothing but enjoy there vast estates and money. As Britain burns (2024),and many days went by with no word from the king I don’t know why England still supports them. After all he and the fam were at Balmoral for summer “vacation “. He finally did say something after he took advice I am assuming. But they do nothing that could not be revamped or given to parliament.

@jeanne-marie8196 Год назад

Such an interesting topic of times past, that, for me, should stay in the past. As far as separate coronations go, sorry, but I vote for neither one. The snippets of the services for the queen after her death were enough pomp for my taste. Don’t get me wrong, I truly mourned her death, but the ancient costumes and customs seemed more like play acting to me.

It seems like such a weird choice but I believe that Charles and Camilla wanted a food souvenir that could be enjoyed by all their subjects, including those who follow difference dietary customs. Quiche includes eggs and cheese but it can be modified with plant-based substitutes for vegans. Coronation Pizza (with or without pineapple) would have been a better menu item.😁

Since I'm in America, it'll depend what time of day the coronation is broadcast whether or not I can watch it live. But I definitely am interested in seeing it for myself, one way or the other. Last year, I happened on the video of the service for the re-interment of King Richard III. I'm not a big fan of his, but I was moved to tears at the solemnity of it all. I clicked on the video with no intention of watching the whole thing, and ended up staying until the end, and actually being sorry it was over. The British do these things so well. However, I did not watch much of the late Queen Elizabeth's II's funeral because I was so unutterably sad to see her passing, I just couldn't bear it. I don't think a separate coronation is warranted, but I do think it would be nice to see some type of homage paid to history by including, within the king's coronation in the abby, a separate ceremony performed with the Scottish regalia. However, I'm guessing this may not be possible since it would mean the Scottish regalia would have to be transported to London for the occasion. But I would argue, that since the stone of scone could be borrowed, the regalia might as well be too.

Thank you for another delightful presentation! A coronation anywhere in a democracy is a non-thing. It's only for show, and only takes place at the consent of the people, provided they are willing to live with a monarch and to pay for the huge party. Therefore, there is no "ought" about any kind of coronation in Scotland or anywhere else. That said, I intend to get up at 2 a.m. and watch the whole thing live because I do love a good show! Also, the live feed may show those unexpected and delightful little human moments, visual bloopers if you will, that never appear in the replays. At Charles' wedding to Diana for example, the camera caught the Queen in an unguarded moment at Buckingham Palace waiting for the wedding coach to arrive. She had a wide-legged stance, hand on hip, clearly in charge and vigorously directing where people should stand and how the coachmen should draw the horses up to the porte-cochere. I loved it!

Wasn't George IV the last king to walk to the abbey from Westminster hall? And then back for a coronation banquet? And William IV being the first king to use the state coach for a ride from St. James's Palace?

It's been a few weeks since I put this together, but I'll have had a source for what ever info. I gave. That said, I'm certainly not above making a slip up so apologies if that is the case.

He was very fat and unfit by the time he became king! King George IV arrived at Westminster by carriage the evening before his coronation, and spent the night in the house of the Speaker of the House of Commons in Westminster Palace. So, he certainly didn’t have far to walk to the Abbey!

Thanks Paul. I quite like the history of ceremonies in general too (not just coronations), so this was extra interesting for me for that reason. I always enjoy watching the Presidential inauguration too for example.

Happy Friday from a cool, sunny day in Central Texas. I did read some where that the Stone of Scone left Scotland for the coronation of King Charles. I don’t know if I will be able to watch it live because of the time difference here in the states. I might watch it on replay. Another great video. Maybe thinking of going next year to London and Scotland. I wanted to go last year but because of Covid I went to Hawaii instead. Great Video! Have a great weekend!

@HistoryCalling Год назад

Hi Delia, you should definitely make a visit if you're able. London and Edinburgh are both brilliant and you'll not be bored in either. There's a train between the two if you don't want to have to fly between them. All that being said, Hawaii's not too shabby :-)

@History Calling. To answer your question at 8:00. Monarchs of other countries do not attend eachothers coronation as I understood during the Coronation of King Willem-Alexander of my country The Netherlands, is so the King or Queen who is to be crowned is always the highest dignitary present. This was told by Dutch TV during the coronation overhere. Then Prince Charles was representative of the Queen.

@HistoryCalling Год назад

Ahh, I see. Thank you. That makes sense. I understand Prince Albert and Princess Charlene are coming next week, but as HSHs, they won't cause such a problem.

@nicolevoussine9439 Год назад

This doesn't seem to be the case this time. King Phillipe and Queen Mathilde of Belgium are confirmed to be attending the coronation.

@@HistoryCalling That's correct. In fact the Dutch and Belgian King, as then Prince Charles did attend the coronation of the Japanese Emperor. As Emperors and Popes are considered a Higher Royal status, that made sense. Thank you again for a lovely video. I am a subsriber for a long time, but always hesitant to react. (Until now that is).

Not interested in king Charles and camilla the queen Elizabeth only wanted her to be a queen consort not the queen Charles has no respect for his mum only himself

@edithengel2284 Год назад

Charles and Camilla are going exactly by what was recommended by the late Queen Elizabeth: Camilla will be crowned as a queen consort, that is a woman married to a king, not as a queen regnant, a woman who rules in her own right. Queen consorts (like the late Queen Mother) can be crowned too. Exactly what the late queen wished.

Thank you so much for all your videos, I’ve been hooked for a few months now. I’m an American but find all Monarchy particularly the UK’s so incredibly interesting. I find it a bit scary that in the US our Head of State has NO reserve powers, knowing that if things reach a crisis where all the government is thrown into chaos, His Majesty can at least do some things and keep things from turning to anarchy. And then also to have it a lifetime position and reigning by consent of the people forces the sovereign to think of the long term stability of the Nation. I wish we had a similar position of oversight over here. Much love from across the Atlantic!

@amylin5062 Год назад

I’m American. It would be a nice nod to history to have a representative of each peerage rank give an oath to the King. It wouldn’t take that long all things considered, especially since there’s no sermon. If I had any sway, I’d like to see the Duke of Kent or Gloucester make an oath for the Dukes; yes they are considered royal dukes, but they’re far enough down the line of succession to represent the peerage at large. In my opinion, anyway. As it is, we’ll only see the Prince of Wales make his oath to the King, which is nice but there won’t be a link to the nobility. I agree with your comment about the oil - it sounds like it smells amazing :)

It is amazing to me that we have such a detailed information about every events that happened around coronation in ancient times and nowadays. Now that we learned a lot of history of coronation, I'm delighted to see that King Charles III will be anointed by holy oil and crowned in Westminster Abbey where was placed the seat of coronation chair. We wish God save the Royal Family !! Thanks a lot for this fantastic video.

@katjack2780 Год назад

I got a bit distracted when you mentioned that the anointing oil was also made up of several scents. They are all "notes" that are used in perfumery. So I began to sketch out the possible structure of a perfume using these scents. For top notes you could have neroli, sesame and orange blossom; middle or heart notes could be rose, cinnamon and jasmine; with amber and benzoin as the base notes. This would make a good commission for Penhaligon's. They have already come out with "Highgrove Bouquet," which was developed with the cooperation of Charles.

@HistoryCalling Год назад

Yes, I'd love to know what it smells like. It sounds amazing. I just hope Charles doesn't have sensitive skin, but I'm sure they've checked that nothing in it bothers him.

@lynnsaull5723 Год назад

One coronation is enough, as the current royal family are descendants of both the English (Tudor), and Scottish (Stuart), Royal lines, it seems redundant. I have been reading some of the other comments and I am disappointed that people do not understand the benefits of a constitutional monarchy. The Monarchy holds no real power in their own right, but the institution of “The Crown” prevents others from misusing the courts, armed forces and other bodies, which swear their allegiance to the monarch.

@HistoryCalling Год назад

Yes, the pros and cons of a constitutional monarchy are something which is always widely debated and admittedly people can get quite heated about it. I believe the good outweighs the bad myself and like that we have it here in the UK and the Commonwealth, but each to their own. 😀

@beth7935 Год назад

Cool to hear about the history of the ceremony! I'm very taken by the description of the holy oil too, but I'm deeply disappointed we won't see the king's champion ride in, throw down his gauntlet, & threaten to fight anyone who disputes Charles' claim 😂 I have mixed feelings about modern royalty & coronations, but I LOVE the history, so since there _will_ be a coronation, I'm interested to see what goes on.

@HistoryCalling Год назад

Yes, the champion on a horse (which might or might not poop on the floor of Westminster Hall) would certainly add an element of unpredictability to the whole thing. Of course, that might be why the custom was discontinued. 😅 I'm looking forward to watching it too to see how the ceremony has been updated (and for all the fashion!)

I'm really curious how "Britain" came to be from "England". Not the merging, but where did the word come from and who decided it meant the group of countries? I know of Britannia, but then why was England called England at all instead of remaining Britannia?

@theblackpearl8632 Год назад

This is a brilliant question! The word 'Britain' is an adjunct of the Goddess Bridget. Essentially, 'Bridgets' People'. The tribe where I am from is the Brigantes. Where it morphed into England is solely because of the dark ages' invasion from the Saxons, the Angles and the Jutes. Some came from part of France but essentially Germanic in origin. We have had another name, that is 'Albion'. From the Latin meaning white. The people of the white. Simple really when they saw the white cliffs of dover as they were invading. The influx of the invaders pushed the Celts back into remote areas such as Wales, Scotland, Cornwall and back into Eire. These are the true descendants of who we where as peoples. Tribes, if you will. The vast majority of England actually still abides by another intervening factor, that of the Danes. The Vikings. There is a dividing line in England which marks you out. Even to this day. This is why you get very strange accents in both the NE and the NW as opposed to the Home Counties. Its relic of a very much bygone age. Hope this helps.

@theblackpearl8632 Год назад

Edit: From the Angles you get England. The place of the Angles. I am sure you can see how the etymology has been corrupted.

@@theblackpearl8632 Thanks for the brilliant reply! As a lowly American who likes to watch British shows, there are definitely times I notice the differences in pronunciations. Like Tracy Borman uses "say-z" but most others use "sez", and Robert Bartlett pronounces the "k" in "known", "knows", etc. I sometimes even have to send clips to my friend in Eastbourne to listen to and tell me what the person is saying. David Starkey pronounced "knowle" as "noe" so I had to get my friend to figure it out - because I love looking at old castles ;-)) Isn't it interesting how much correlation there is between Germany and England through the centuries?
