Description
The coronation was, and still is, one of the most important ceremonies of a monarch’s reign. Dr Alice Hunt examines the 16th-century coronations of Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn, Edward VI, Mary I and Elizabeth I, showing how they responded to monarchical and religious changes of the time, and what they tell us about legitimacy, representation and the purpose of ceremony.
