  • Westminster Abbey ASERVICE to CELEBRATE the 60TH ANNIVERSARY of the CORONATION of HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II
    Westminster Abbey ASERVICE TO CELEBRATE THE 60TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CORONATION OF HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II Tuesday 4th June 2013 at 11.00 am FOREWORD On 2nd June 1953, the Coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II followed a pattern established over the centuries since William the Conqueror was crowned in Westminster Abbey on Christmas Day 1066. Our intention in this Service of Thanksgiving is to evoke and reflect the shape of the Coronation service itself. The Queen’s entrance was marked by the Choirs’ singing Psalm 122—I was glad—set to music for the Coronation of EdwardVII by Sir Hubert Parry. The Queen’s Scholars of Westminster School exercised their historic right to exclaim Vivat Regina Elizabetha! (‘Long live Queen Elizabeth!’); so it will be today. The coronation service begins with the Recognition. The content of this part of the service is, of course, not today what it was in 1953, but the intention is similar: to recognise with thanksgiving the dutiful service offered over the past sixty years by our gracious and noble Queen, and to continue to pray God saveThe Queen. The Anointing is an act of consecration, a setting apart for royal and priestly service, through the gift of the Holy Spirit. The Ampulla from which the oil was poured rests today on the HighAltar as a reminder of that central act. St Edward’s Crown also rests today on the High Altar as a powerful symbol of the moment of Coronation. In today’s Service, a flask of Oil is carried by representatives of the people of the United Kingdom to the Sacrarium, received by theArchbishop and placed by the Dean on the High Altar.

  • Relic Or Icon? the Place and Function of Imperial Regalia*
    Chapter 14 Relic or Icon? The Place and Function of Imperial Regalia* Akira Akiyama Even though the studies of Christian and Buddhist art have long had respec- tive traditions, only rarely are their research results compared. This essay at- tempts to take up a comparative religious art historical investigation.1 There is no guarantee that such a comparison will bring about remarkable results; however, through the process of comparing it is possible, by juxtaposing differ- ent perspectives on similar kinds of objects, at least to gain some stimuli, ideas, and expertise vis-à-vis the fields of both Western and Japanese or East Asian art historical research. We thus explore here the regalia of the Holy Roman Empire, Reichskleinodien or Reichsinsignien, and the imperial regalia of Japan, Sanshu-no-Jingi (Three divine objects). Regalia are some of the most popular objects in many cultures, and are often newly made at the coronation of a sovereign. In this respect the imperial regalia of the Holy Roman Empire and of Japan make interesting exceptions, because in both cases they have a long tradition and history. By comparing the dynamics of portable sacred objects— their translation into different local contexts—we discover that regalia func- tion as both relics and icons to differing degrees in various situations. Further still, the ambiguity of place in the series of moves, compounded by issues of visibility, complicates the function of sacred imagery. While relics are prin- cipally not duplicable, but dividable, icons are not dividable, but duplicable. Japanese imperial regalia, in contrast to those of the Holy Roman Empire, have not only a relic-like character, but also an icon-like character.

  • 3 King Foreigner and Pater Patriae
    3 King Foreigner and Pater Patriae When political legitimacy depended on the right of descent, the extinc- tion of a ruling dynasty spelled trouble. During the four centuries of Prˇemyslid rule, however, the Czechs created a state with enough territo- rial and institutional stability to weather these problems. Beginning with the later Prˇemyslids and continuing under succeeding dynasties, a politi- cal system emerged based on estates (lords, knights, towns, and some- times clergy), giving the Bohemian crownlands their characteristic politi- cal structure for the next several centuries. During those centuries, the fluctuating fortunes of the realm would also provide much material for later generations to shape into the historical myth-images of golden ages and times of darkness, of ‘‘a nation great in glory and suffering.’’1 The first years after Va´clav III inclined to the latter image. BOHEMIA UNDER THE LUXEMBURGS: MEDIEVAL HIGH-WATER MARK After Va´clav III’s death, his sisters Anna and Elisˇka repre- sented the legitimate Prˇemyslid line.

Rudolf (1306–1307) died the year after his election, whereupon the Bohemian crown went to Henry (1307–1310), but his reliance on the towns and armed support from Carinthia and Meissen made him unpopular. Finally a group of nobles and church leaders approached Henry VII of Luxemburg, King of the Romans since Albrecht’s murder in 1308.

    What is a monarchy? Monarchy is the oldest form of government in the United Kingdom. In a monarchy, a king or queen is Head of State. The British Monarchy is currently known as a constitutional monarchy. This means that, while The Sovereign (a supreme ruler) is Head of State, the ability to make and pass legislation resides with an elected Parliament. Although The Sovereign no longer has a political or executive role, he or she continues to play an important part in the life of the nation. What Is a Coronation? A coronation is a ceremony where a king or queen is officially given the crown of the country. It is a ceremony full of pageantry and celebration but it also has a solemn religious side. It is almost like a marriage ceremony between the monarch and their country. This is George IV’s coronation in 1821 What Is a Coronation? A new king or queen becomes the monarch at the very second that the previous monarch dies or abdicates (stands down). This is called ascension. The coronation happens a number A coronation is also a massive of months after ascension. This is event that needs an awful lot of because there needs to be time for planning so there needs to be a period of mourning where the plenty of time for the country thinks about the monarch organisation. that has died.

  • Surviving Regalia of King Richard III's and Queen Anne's Coronation
    Surviving Regalia of King Richard III’s and Queen Anne’s Coronation The Ampulla and Coronation Spoon Perhaps because they are not immediately recognizable as such, these are the oldest items in the coronation regalia and the only two that escaped the systematic destruction of royal regalia and crown jewels after the execution of Charles I. The holy oil (chrism) is poured from the beak of the golden eagle into the spoon and applied to the monarch’s head, breast and palms. The Coronation Spoon is first recorded in 1349 as preserved among St Edward’s Regalia in Westminster Abbey. Already at this date it is described as a spoon of ‘antique forme’. Stylistically it seems to relate to the 12th century and was possibly supplied to Henry II or Richard I. It is therefore a remarkable survival – the only piece of royal goldsmiths’ work to survive from that century. The small pearls were added to its decoration by King Charles II. It is unclear from the 1349 inventory whether the spoon at this date was part of the chapel plate. Its length, and the division of the bowl into two lobes, suggest that it always had a ceremonial purpose, and its presence among the regalia means that it has always been associated with coronations. One suggestion is that the divided bowl was designed in this fashion so that the archbishop might dip two fingertips into the holy oil. Hence it may well have been with this spoon that Richard and Anne were anointed in 1483. The Ampulla is more difficult to date, its antiquity being less obvious at first sight since it has been subjected to frequent redecoration.

  • EIGHTEENTH- and NINETEENTH-CENTURY CORONATIONS and INAUGURATIONS in the HABSBURG MONARCHY Why Do Th Ey Matter? D
    Introduction EIGHTEENTH- AND NINETEENTH-CENTURY CORONATIONS AND INAUGURATIONS IN THE HABSBURG MONARCHY Why Do Th ey Matter? d Klaas Van Gelder Royal rites and ceremonies appeal very strongly to the imagination of people worldwide. Millions of tourists gaze at the St. Edward’s Crown, the Imperial State Crown, and the other regalia in the London Tower each year. Many peo- ple know the scenes of Elizabeth II’s coronation in 1953, which are frequently shown in the media. Documentary fi lms such as Th e Coronation by BBC One, broadcast in May 2018 on the occasion of the sixty-fi fth jubilee of the crowning and featuring the Queen reminiscing about her father’s and her own coronation, only add to the appeal of these rare events. Th e same allure can be observed in the case of the imperial crowns in Vienna’s Schatzkammer and the St. Stephen’s Crown of Hungary in the parliament building in Budapest—the latter referred to as the embodiment of “the constitutional continuity of Hungary’s statehood and the unity of the nation” in the country’s “fundamental law” dating from 2011.1 Analogously to popular fascination, scholarly interest in rituals accompanying and substantiating the start of a new reign—and more generally in symbolic communication—has increased steadily over the past three to four decades. New insights into the signifi cance of ritual and ceremony for power relations have in- duced new generations of historians and art historians to reconsider coronations More than Mere Spectacle Coronations and Inaugurations in the Habsburg Monarchy during the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries Edited by Klaas Van Gelder https://www.berghahnbooks.com/title/VanGelderMore 2 | Klaas Van Gelder and inaugurations.

It was here between the walls of this palace that the life of the monarch, his family and his court was concentrated, bringing together almost all of what Saint-Simon called “la France”, its government and administration, and creating a model that was to impose its style on all of Europe. While this model derived many of its rules from older traditions, notably those of the court of Bourgogne exalted by the court of Spain, it was under Louis XIV, “the greatest king on earth”, in Versailles, that the court and hence the codes of court life acquired that singular sumptuousness designed to impress ordinary mortals with the fact that the life lived around their monarch was of a higher essence than that of other mortals, however powerful, noble and rich they might be.
