Description:
The ordines coronationis are essentially the scripts for the coronation of Frankish and French sovereigns. Combining detailed religious, ceremonial, and political material, they are an extraordinarily important source for the study of individual rulers or dynasties, as well as for the study of kingship, queenship, and the evolution of political institutions. This second and final volume completes the first full edition of these texts. It contains all the ordines from the early thirteenth century through the end of the fifteenth century, a period during which a significant part of the text material shifts from Latin to the vernacular, and the institutions of kingship become distinctively French.
