Only two monarchs Edward V and Edward VIII were uncrowned and a further twenty or so Scottish monarchs were crowned elsewhere usually at either Scone Abbey or Holyrood Abbey. In The Throne Ian Lloyd turns his inimitable quick - witted style to these key events in British royal history providing fascinating anecdotes and interesting facts: William the Conqueror's Christmas Day crowning during which jubilant shouts were mistaken by his guards as an assassination attempt; the dual coronation of William and Mary in 1689; the pared - back Half Crown - ation of William IV; and the televised spectacle of Elizabeth II's 1953 ceremony. Detailing everything from the famous Coronation Chair made for Edward I and the Crown Jewels to the infamously uncomfortable Gold State Coach this is a truly spectacular celebration of British culture and the ultimate pomp of royalty.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: The Throne 1,000 Years Of British Coronations\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Lloyd Ian\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: The History Press Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781803992860\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 20 Illustrations, Black And White\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 2\/27\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Sociology: Customs \u0026amp; Traditions","brand":"Lloyd Ian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49624492867889,"sku":"IN-G-9781803992860","price":22.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781803992860.jpg?v=1724944672","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781803992860-the-throne-1-000-years-of-british-coronations","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
