abendgulesDuchess Nerissa asked me to read through a French account of the coronation of Charles V of Spain (Charles Hapsburg) in 1517. It's an excerpt available online from the British Library, in their Renaissance Books section, and you can enlarge the text to read it for yourself page by page.
She (on behalf of a Lochac friend) was looking for any hints on making a coronation ceremony more authentic for 16th c Spain. I offered some suggestions; unfortunately, what would make it most authentic is holding coronation as a church ceremony complete with Mass, and that's a non-starter!
The reading was fascinating - a bit like reading Chaucer, where the words make more sense out loud because the spelling is unpredictable.
So I thought I'd post the text, along with my very rough translation, in case anyone else is interested. If there are other French readers, I'd welcome their feedback!
I may go back, and translate the first couple of pages as well, because it has long descriptions of what everyone is wearing (in order of precedence).
There is the caveat however, that sometimes these books were written before the event(!), to ensure broad circulation of the news, so it may or may not be an accurate representation.
(There's the whole set of observations about books printed in secretary hand, and the use of short forms...but that's a different post!)
Suggestions drawn from the coronation of Charles V, for SCA use – some feasible in some settings, others not. I’m guessing holding Mass is right out…
1. Make sure you’re attended by the highest-ranking nobles in the land – either in your party on the dais, or lining the aisles and front and centre at court. Ask them nicely to sit close, rather than hanging around the back of the hall. Their presence lends legitimacy to your coronation.
2. Process in on a horse, with others on foot.
3. Use the relics of the kingdom (book of laws, sword) to swear an oath, but receive homage with joined hands, placing your hands around those of the person offering. Fealty and homage are two different things! And this ceremony points it out.
4. Those who offer homage kiss the hand of the king & queen (not just those who swear oaths).
5. Process out to music praising God (or the kingdom) and with trumpets and loud instruments.
Rough and broad summary of text
After long description of major attendees, and what they were wearing….
- king gets on a horse to head to the coronation at the church in Valladolid. All the attending nobles get off their horses, and attend him on foot, with the constable of Castille on one side of the horse, the duke of Alba on the other, and all the other ‘grand maistres’ (noblemen) hanging on to whatever part of the horse’s harness they can reach. There’s some remark about a bad road (or that this is a hard task?) but this is the ‘ancient custom’ and they all did it willingly.
- Author then recaps (possibly this is a start of a new letters sent to the king’s aunt, as it refers to ‘your nephew’, later compiled in a book). Author emphasises that the king is attended by the counts, many prelates, and most of the princes and ‘grand maitres’ (grand masters, or great men) of the kingdom, as well as ‘procuradors’ of cities and towns (possibly administrators, mayors, wealthy burghers, guildsmen); also the Infante (I think this is Johanna the Mad, who co-reigned with him) and many important people from Naples, Aragon, Navarre and ‘other countries’.
- King says something nice about having to choose between two countries (was raised in Netherlands, but is taking a Spanish title) – that he won’t forget Flanders, but he doesn’t regret abandoning it to come to Castille…’and several other good things that were well received’.
- King receives the ‘serment’ (oath) of the procuradors at this time, and says he will received the ‘serment’ of the prelates and grands maitres next Sunday(!)
- Next Sunday: King ‘is sworn’ (OR receives fealty, not clear) as king of Castille and Grenada, Leon and others, accompanied by all the princes of the realm – again, attends the church on horse, his attendees on foot, everyone dressed in ‘beaten cloth of gold’ and everyone looking gorgeous (‘tous bien fort gorgias’). Is now also attended by Infante, and major embassadors (author lists those from Pope, Emperor, king of France, England, Portugal, Venice)
- King celebrates a solemn mass at St. Paul’s led by the Cardinal de Tortoze, along with many prelates, the procuradors, the Infante and Madame Elienor – latter is likely his sister.
- After mass and the pardon (promise of forgiveness?), the Infante, Madame Elienor, the prelates, the grande maitres, the procuradors came to swear on the missal and the piece of the true Cross, placing right hand on the relics. Each then kissed the king’s hand, who returned the kisses and led them to their places.
- Then the prelates give their oaths, in order of precedence, swearing on the relics, then the princes, grands maitres, Infante of Grenada, other princes (some names given in order)
- THEN comes ‘the petite homage’ required of certain princes, starting with the Infante, whereby they place their two hands between those of the king, ‘as is the custom in Castille’. Madame Elienor did not give homage, as it is not the custom of women to give homage (not clear why Johanna must give homage, but perhaps the rules are different for a co-regnant). After Infante’s homage, there’s some reference to moving a chair, or one person standing, and I *think* the Infante and he then receive homage together. Note that Infante has given fealty and homage to the king, but then can receive homage as co-regnant (but she doesn’t receive fealty of the nobles).
- Each homage giver kisses the hand of the king
- Ceremony ends with Te Deum Laudamus, trumpets and ‘tantalles’ making a great noise
