The Catastrophic Coronations: Drama Through the Ages
Manage episode 361961150 series 2985623
We're mere days away from the coronation of King Charles III, and it seems like a good time to explore the fact and legend of British coronations.
We'll think about:
* this unusual ritual that it is both a state occasion of the transfer of title and a religious rite,
* what the ritual says about Britain and also about the incoming monarch,
* some elements to watch for in the ceremony itself,
After the break, all hell nearly breaks loose as we have fun, Horrible History style, with three of the most botched coronation ceremonies in British history. Charles' team: If you're listening, and we KNOW you are, consider this a cautionary tale.
Some really unique images and our sources can be seen at our SHOW NOTES PAGE HERE.
