Ships from and sold by EXPERAL Singapore Publisher: The History Press Ltd Origin: United Kingdom (Imported) ISBN 13: 9781803992860 Condition: Brandnew Binding: hardcover Pages: 248 Dimensons: 0 x 138 x 0 | 0 (gram) ---------------------------------------- From the crowning of Charles III, thirty-nine coronations have been held in Westminster Abbey since the Norman Conquest. 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 unable Gold State Coach - this is a truly spectacular celebration of British culture and the ultimate pomp of royalty.
