After the king is anointed and is dressed in the cloth of gold supertunica – he is then seated in St Edward’s chair and is ready to be invested with the royal regalia. There are really two parts to the investiture, and I am going to treat them separately in two videos. The first part of the ceremony, which this video will be about, has its origin in the medieval ceremonies associated with the creation of knights and the king is presented with spurs and a sword.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
