On the 15th of August, 1274, Edward I. and his queen Eleanor was crowned at Westminister by the Archbishop of Canterbury, aided by other prelates. Holinshed adds some remarkable particulars of this coronation :â€" ‘*"At this coronation were present, Alexander king of Scots, and John earl of Bretaine, with their wives that were sisters to King Edward. The king of Scots did homage unto King Edward for the realms of Scotland, in like manner as other the kings of Scot land before him had doone to other kings of England, ancesteurs to this King Edward. At the solemnite of this coronation there were let go to libertie (catch them that catch might) five hundred great horsses by the king of Scets, the earles of Cornwell, (Glocester, Penbroke, Warren, and others, as they were allighted fro their backs." The ceremony ot her coronation was performed with extraerdinary pomp on the 22nd of January. Holinshed‘s account is as follows : ‘ Hexey IIL After the death of John, London beâ€" Ang in possesion of the French prince Louis an assemby of the principal a&uthorities was convened at Winchestâ€" er, under the presidency of Gualy, the papal legate. They unanimously resolved that the young king should be erowned on the 28th of October, a. b. 1216. The ceremony was performâ€" ed at the cathedral ot Winchester. The papal legate compelled Henry to do homage to the holy .toman church and Pope Innocent, for his kingdom of England and Ireland;â€"He also made him swear that he would pay an anâ€" hual tribute of one thousand marks to the papal see. The ceremony of corâ€" onation was repeated by Stephen Langton archbishop of Canterbury.

"There was‘such presse and throng at this coronution, that a knight, called Sir John Blakewell,} was thrust or cowded to death."
