Coronation: From the 8th to the 21st Century

Quite a hefty tome, just chalk full of information, details, reasonings, changes in the ceremony (and why), and full of life with the different offices and personalities which take place in a coronation. This book is not for the faint of heart...or if you have a light lap. It is to be savored and lugged from room to room as you go about your day. While rich, it is easily read and you won't get bogged down in trying to remember what happened on the previous page.
