"Exploring the Fascinating World of Coronations: From British History to Modern Times"

From William the Conqueror to King Charles III, coronations mark the epochs of British history. The UK is the only monarchy left in Europe that still celebrates a coronation, a ceremony meant to confer God’s grace on the monarch as head of the Church of England. The St. Edward’s Crown, which dates back to the restoration of the monarchy in 1661 under Charles II, is used only during the coronation and weighs a hefty 5 pounds. The story of the UK is best told through its kings and queens, from early Anglo-Saxon kings to a succession of royal dynasties such as the Plantagenets, Tudors, Stuarts, and the current royal family, the House of Windsor.
