This book explores the fascinating history of the coronation rite in Western Europe, delving into the religious ceremonies that have shaped the inaugurations of emperors and kings throughout the centuries. The author traces the evolution of the rite back to its roots, examining its origins in ancient Rome and the Byzantine Empire.
