| | | | Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom: Encyclopedia II - Austrian Crown Jewels - The insignia of the Austrian hereditary homage Austria began as a small duchy and was later elevated to an archduchy. The house of Babenberg and later the Habsburg dynasty were the dukes and later archdukes of this fiefdom. After the death of the last Babenberg duke, Frederick II in 1246, King Ottokar II of Bohemia took over for a while. He was, however, defeated by Rudolf of Habsburg in 1278, with the help of his sons Albert and Rudolf. Rudolf was eventually elected King of Germany. The enthronement ceremony of the new Archduke of Austria was not an actual coronation, but more a ceremon ...

| | | | Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom: Encyclopedia II - Honours of Scotland - The Sword of State of Scotland The Sword of State of Scotland was also a papal gift; Pope Julius II presented it to James IV in 1507.

After being used at the coronations of Mary I, James VI, and Charles I, the regalia were last used in 1651 for Charles II's coronation. In England, Charles I had been executed, and the monarchy overthrown. Oliver Cromwell, the Lord Protector of England, Scotland, and Ireland ...

| | | | Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom: Encyclopedia II - Coronation of the British monarch - Participants The Archbishop of Canterbury, who has precedence over all other clergymen and over all laymen except members of the Royal Family, traditionally officiates at coronations; during his absence, another bishop may take his place. There have, however, been several exceptions. William I was crowned by the Archbishop of York, since the Archbishop of Canterbury had been excommunicated by the Pope. Edward II was crowned by the Bishop of Winchester because the Archbishop of Canterbury was not in England at the time. Mary I, a Catholic, refused to be c ...

| | | | Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom: Encyclopedia II - Coronation of the British monarch - History The timing of the coronation has varied throughout British history. The first Norman monarch, William I, was crowned on the day he became King—25 December 1066. Most of his successors were crowned within weeks, or even days, of their accession. Edward I was fighting in the Ninth Crusade when he ascended to the throne in 1272; he was crowned soon after his return in 1274. Edward II's coronation, similarly, was delayed by a campaign in Scotland in 1307. Henry VI was only a few months old when he succeeded in 1422; he was crowned in 1429, but ...

| | | | Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom: Encyclopedia II - Austrian Crown Jewels - The Holy Roman Empire The Imperial Regalia are the insignia of the Holy Roman Empire. After 1438, the Holy Roman Empire was ruled by the House of Habsburg, with only one brief exception. From 1508, after his election, the German King no longer called for the coronation by the Pope either, but considered himself Roman Emperor directly. The crown was probably used for the first time for the coronation of Konrad II; the last time was for Franz II in 1792.
The regalia were normally kept in Nuremberg, and a smaller part in Aachen. However, with Napoleon' ...

| | | | Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom: Encyclopedia II - Coronation of the British monarch - Coronation banquet Traditionally, the coronation was immediately followed by a banquet, held in Westminster Hall in the Palace of Westminster (which also serves as the home to the Houses of Parliament).

A herald would then proclaim,

(In 1953 it stood atop a dais of several steps.) This ancient medieval chair has a slot in the base into which the Stone of Scone has been fitted for the ceremony. Also known as the "stone of destiny," it was used for ancient Scottish coronations until brought to England by Edward I. It has been used for every coronation at Westminster Abbey since. Until 1996 the stone was k ...
