'When Royal Coronations Go Wrong!'

Coronations - pomp and pageantry or a vital link with the timeless traditions of taking the throne?

History Hit’s medieval historian Matt Lewis digs deep into the past to investigate the most eventful and chaotic coronations in history and how centuries old aspects of Anglo-Saxon and Medieval coronations will be mirrored in Charles III’s ceremony.

To dig deep into the ancient roots of the coronation ceremony, Matt heads to London's Westminster Abbey and Temple Church, as well as Butser Ancient Farm and Winchester Great Hall, exploring how medieval royal pageantry, some over a thousand years old, still shapes what we will witness in 2023.

With the help of coronations expert Dr George Gross, Matt uncovers the fundamentals of a coronation: the recognition, election, oath, homage and of course the highly symbolic glittering crown! And we also discover that a double coronation, just like Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla, wasn’t so unusual in the medieval world.
