A comprehensive history that sets each coronation into its political, social, religious, and cultural context. It particularly concentrates on post-1603 developments when the crown jewels, used for hundreds of years at coronations, were melted down as symbols of the hated Divine Right of Kings. As Charles III succeeds to the throne and preparations are made for his coronation, Strong speculates as to the revisions now called for to its ritual and pageantry to meet the changes in the role of the monarchy in the twenty-first century.
