Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Scotland Under Her Early Kings, Vol. 2: A History of the Kingdom to the Close of the Thirteenth Century A coronation in the thirteenth century was more than a mere gorgeous ceremony, for it was in a certain sense one of the titles by which a king held his crown. Men´s minds were still much influenced by the external forms which were slowly giving way to deeds and written documents, and they were apt to look upon the prince, whose coronation they had witnessed, or who had been proclaimed their king in any other manner to which they were accustomed, as the rightful sovereign, without further question of his title. Accordingly, within twenty-four hours of the death of the late king, his successor was crowned at Scone, and hailed as their lawful sovereign by both Estates of the Realm; who, after uniting for three days in celebrating the accession of the youthful Alexander, resumed the character of mourners, and returning to Stirling, where the widowed Ermengarde still watched by the body of her husband, escorted the remains of the deceased monarch to their last resting-place at Arbroath.
