With the coronation of King Charles III & Queen Consort Camilla fast approaching, let's learn more about this ancient right of monarchs. Since ancient times, placing a crown upon a monarch’s head was a powerful symbol. It was believed to bestow a heavenly mandate to rule, or even transform a monarch into a living god. Most people don’t think of King Charles as especially divine. But he also won’t be expected to smite an enemy or walk a marathon around the city as Egyptian Pharaohs did, be asked to publicly defend his claim to the throne like Persian Kings, or lead his army on a months long march to the Vatican like the Holy Roman Emperors. And Camila is unlikely to perform a blood sacrifice and summon a vision serpent, like a Mayan Queen Consort. Let’s explore the evolution of coronations across the world from ancient to modern times. See how different cultural traditions built on each other to create modern ceremonies, and learn how secularism and revolutions have done away with all the other coronations in Europe.

Okay... but it would be pretty rad if Camilla suddenly performed a blood sacrifice in the middle of Westminster Abbey.
Yes
i would tune in for that
She did on Diana 🤮
I would watch that.
It’d be on brand
I love how you are including the Americas in this. As someone who works at a history museum in the US, people are surprised how advance pre contact society truly was and complex governments of Native Americans.
Americans lack of education about pre-colonial Americas is not by mistake, it's by design.
americans

nobility
In the Mexican coronation rite, the President of the Congress (speaker of the lower house) places the crown on the Emperor's head saying (among other things), "Remember the great power you are given by the Nation is limited by the Constitution... if you do not fulfill your duties appropriately, the Nation has the right to reclaim it."
That popular sovereignty warning is likely a big reason why the Mexican monarchy hasn't lasted to today.
Now I kind of wanna see Charles doing a marathon around London
Great video! One minor correction: the monarch, who wore Saint Stephen's crown for the last time is called Karl IV (or IV. Károly if you want to be extra authentic) in Hungary. He was the first monarch named Karl in Austria, but Hungary had three before him (Karl I of Hungary is actually a rather well known king from the Anjou dinasty, who ruled in the 14th century). Saint Stephen's crown belongs to Hungary, not Austria (as it is told in the video when discussing Maria Theresa's coronations), so I think it is fit to call the monarch Karl IV, since that was his official name as King of Hungary (just like people call the king following Elisabeth I on the throne James I & VI)
Random thought: I think videos on famous composers like Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, etc. would be super interesting.
Maybe George Friedrich Handel too since he composed the four British Coronation Anthems?

@@andrealuisecandido1154 why do you type like that
It might be because of the princess phase I had when I was a little girl, but I always found coronations and accessions to be glorious and awe-inspiring, especially the fictional ones, because the fictional characters literally transform into royalty. 👑
God Save the King 🤴 but I must admit I'm more eager to see the coronation of William and Catherine ❤
As am I, Miss. As am I.
You will have to wait maybe15-20 years.
They won’t have a Coronation
Church of England might be abolished by then
I wish so bad I could go to the Coronation of Charles III. It would be such an experience to witness an event of such depth and meaning.
"May the Emperor live forever" is an updated version of an acclamation that goes back at least as far as the Persians. It's referenced in Daniel 6:21.
Yonks ago there was a superb musical ensemble called the New York Pro Musica. Their purpose was to perform works from the Middle Ages. One of these was, oddly enough, 'The Play of Daniel.' It was performed in Latin and the acclamation therein was "Rex in aeternum vive!" a literal translation.
One of the lyrics in "Zadok the Priest," the coronation anthem for the anointing of the king, is "May the king live forever."
Just offering this up as bits of trivia that may be of interest to some of your listeners. Thank you for the wonderful job you do and for the depth of your research. I love your videos.

2:46 I think this is my favourite crown ever! All the colourful natural chunky stones, held in delicate goldwork in a random pattern of colours- the absolute opposite of boringly monochrome crowns with blindingly perfect diamonds.
Yes! The „Reichskrone“ (Realmʼs Crown) of Germany is ancient and really looks like it, too.
@@deutschermichel5807 Whoa, Germany still has a crown this old & this divinely beautiful?!?! That's incredible! Britain lucked out with scummy Oliver Cromwell destroying theirs in the 17thc.
I’m excited to see the coronation. Nobody does pomp and ceremony like the British.
Thank you for the upload! Charles and Camilla's coronation will be something to see!

@@andrealuisecandido1154 Ew. Type better.
My friend who I will call T is seeing a guy who I lovingly refer to as Soldier Boy who is a member of the Kings Guards. He is in the marching band and does the changing of the guard and stuff like that. He is currently gearing up and starting all the preparations for the coronation of Charles III. She is very smitten with him and while I don't have much respect for the royal family I admire his discipline and dedication in his job especially as he often has to go to Ireland a lot. There is already a long distance between my friend and Soldier Boy because he lives and worked in London and T lives and works in Barnsley in Yorkshire. I just wanted to talk about it because I think it is interesting.
Update: T broke up with Soldier boy. He was not very good and was insecure and jealous and edged a little too close to controlling for T's liking. She is now in a casual relationship with a hunky footballer. Not one in a major league though.
That is so cool!
Lucky friend.
The intro was very well done. Good job Lindsay!
Love love love the representation of multiple cultures featured in this video!
This is one classic and archaic yet preserved artifact!

Monarchies today if we still named kings ‘Scorpion’ 📈📈📈
I still can't believe the Coronation is so close to Eurovision. Good Old Charles is going to have the spotlight for about three seconds beforte everyone goes to see if Queen Loreen gets her second crown.
I'm interested to see part 4. I wonder how Charles' coronation will differ from Elizabeth's and what parts were left out since Elizabeth's consort didn't get a coronation.
19:21
Actually the first person in Europe to question the divine right of kings was pope Gregory VII.
Very good production. It's definitely interesting how most glaze over why England still goes bananas over having a monarch. Questions like, "why do we need them? " are over shadowed by "look at their Regale!".
My father in law was outside Westminster when Elizabeth was crowned, he said she was amazing

I can imagine the thrill of people old enough to remember the Queen's coronation, to witness her her son's. Just as a child today will tell their grandkid decades from now they saw Charles's.
This is great! Exited for episode 2!
Super interesting!
Can't wait for the next parts! ❤
You have taught us so much thank you
I love your content! So well researched and put together! And your Valley Girl is like totally on point 😁
Yes! I love a good Lindsay Holliday video 🎉🎉
12:10
"Elected democratically", not really. Being elected by the senate, it would be more correct to say they were elected "aristocratically".
To be fair, it was also rare for a Roman Emperor to be succeeded by his own son to begin with.
That is what democracy meant at the time though...
@@idahagen9760 sorry but no. Democracy at the time was different from now, that's true, but it was not the roman senate either. Democracy was the regimen of cities like Athens, where every citizen had the right to participate, not just the senators.
But democracy in the Athens style pretty much died with Athens, until more modern times. When people in the Middle Ages thought of democracy, they thought about electing aristocrats to some sort of parlament or senate...
@@idahagen9760 I am sorry but no. Italian free cities (and there were many of them) involved commoners in politics. There were even some, most notably Florence, where aristocrats were explicitly forbidden from being elected to government offices.
They themselves did not use the word "democracy" simply because this word was not used at all in medieval Europe. However, byzantine travelers-who spoke greek-when they went to Italy naturally called those cities "democracies".
1:23, I literally Imagined Queen Camilla doing exactly that jaja
Hahaha, right?
Another awesome video! 🔥🔥
Charles isn't required to smite an enemy at his coronation? Pity. I'm sure he's got a lengthy list by now 😂.
Considering how the media is picking on Harry and Meghan, and Andy,I bet that list growing day by day.
To the narrator- you don’t have to say “ Queen Consort Camilla.” It’s automatically understood that If Charles is King, his spouse is the Consort. It’s more correct to address them as King & Queen, as everyone else was in history.
I think Charles should have to win his throne in combat
Thank you Maam
I love your content...
Hi Lindsay, love your videos, an idea for future videos is to put small text boxes with the name of places, like in the case with the churches of Notre-Dame de Paris and Notre-Dame de Reims, 20:39 , so as to distinguish between the two, it confused me when the picture of the later appeared and you said "....Rom's cathedral..." it could confuse some to think it was a special cathedral of Rome or confuse some to as which is "The Notre-Dame" (Notre-Dame de Paris). Love your videos, have a great day ^_^
I got my shiny halo hat, my metal stick, and a bottle of Chambord... I'm ready for my coronation!
I love your channel, girl!
4000 BCE?! That's incredible 👑
Yes, it should BC.
This is so interesting
Its unlikely she performs a blood sacrifice....but not impossible🤔
Very good.
Elizabeth II: South Africa, Pakistan, Ceylon
Charles III: Papua New Guinea, Jamaica, Solomon Islands
你好的！這些介紹真是十分古老的年代。
Thank You
Thank you so much!
I believe it is a grain flail rather than a fly whip. That makes more sense coupled with the shepherd crook: farming and husbandry.
anyone who also likes football hearing the intro/coronation anthem: *leo di caprio pointing meme* THE CHAAAAMPIOOOONS
Super Film
You know you play a lot of D&D when at the end of this video, one of the patreon members mentioned was sounding a lot like the missus of Strahd from the campaign Curse of Strahd lol
I may live to see two coronations in my lifetime.
hey history tea time with Lindsay holiday
can we get a bonus episode about Asian coronations?
She has one on Asian, African, and South Pacific.
Ahhh! Smiting enemies, leading armies, and blood sacrifices; those were the good ol' days. 😆😂🤣😂😅😆😁😊
The Royal Regalia belongs to the family and is sometimes left in the care of the state or Gov't.
You have a patron called Countess von Zarovich? :o
Long life to the lady of Barovia!
Can't wait for Queen Kate
You might have to wait 20 years.
Kingdoms never go away, they simply go through interrugunums, simply a space between the last king and the next King when none sits on the throne

Definitely the concept of a ruling class to some degree always seems to lurk.
Mary Magdalene Pedigree.
It’s quite a topical video we have today! Did The Spice Girls say no to this too? (Jk)
At 24:40 you can see how silly the regalia looks on the "last" emperor of Austria-Hungary; it's almost like a little kid playing dress up! Such a metaphor for the downfall of pomp and circumstance transforming into a circumstance without pomp or prerogative.
It’s interesting to me that they change the crown in France and then lost the monarchy.
very good video but when you were talking abt napoleon you showed an image of philippe le bel and not charlemagne
I believe the term for the sacred oil is "chrism." Also, stele is pronounced kind of like "steely." Great video otherwise.. I love the multicultural scope.
ok Lindsay, I see you trying out dramatic intros. *snaps*
Only 46 days left before the coronation
Time flies!

24:53 "sparking World War ONE" this part made me laugh. It might've been because your voice peaked or your microphone had a technical difficulty but the tone when you said "one" sounded more annoyed than I was expecting.
Native Americans also have interesting celebrations for new leaders
Love the content as always. But I think it'd be more interesting to include the coronation ceremonies of Asian monarchs. Perhaps a new video? :)
Great video, as always 🤩 just a couple of observations: the Maya civilizations wasn’t an empire. They were independent city-states, not a unified realm. Just as we can’t call Ancient Greece a “Greek Empire,” the Maya civilization wasn’t an Empire. And maybe I’m wrong, yet I think it’s better to call them “the Maya” instead of “Mayan” 😁
Sounds good to me, the witch
😎
Coronation 👑 of United Kingdom's Charles III and his wife Camilla will be taking place on 6 May 2023, correct??
I understand that the heart wants what it wants but..... he cheated on Diana with Camilla. WTF..... .
It happened over 30 years ago, get over it!
@@cocoaorange1 have you seen her...... gross
prehistory
Very cool! Soon monarchies will rightfully be a thing of the past
RA and Horus look the same, Just Horus has smaller feet and a different hat, crown thing on top of his head. No wonder the crowns, jewlery, and color of make up is so important the people could been with two different people but thought they where the same person the whole time! Dang 🤣
*_8:31_**_ Eye witness account??? Plutarch was born 3 centuries after the coronation of Artaxerxes I. Also, you do not adress Cyrus the Great as "Cyrus the Elder". You refer to him as Cyrus the Great, and that's especially important if you're a christian since he is a Messiah to you. There is a lot of inaccuracies with your descpription of the Medo-Persian customs._*
Where is india?
The people need to choose who will govern them. No privilege to power by descendants. Govern by ability not heredity.
Is there any better way of passing down power?
@@casbrowne9055 VOTE, VOTE, VOTE for the right to govern.
While republics are the most morally correct regime, the guys people vote to aren't any better.
Rubbish
@@whiteowl4097 If your talking about the British Royal family they don’t have any real power
如果有中文翻译就好了，听不懂呀！😂😂😂

你長得十分漂亮又可愛的呢！
Although I love your videos it’s time for real truth to be unveiled. The true anointing has nothing to do with pouring oils on top of someone’s head. The true meaning of anointing is when the priest and priestess engaged in tantric sex ritual aka sacred marriage aka hieros gamos, the woman would transmit her divine bodily elixers to the man which would in turn rise up his spine and activate his pineal gland. This is what a true anointing is in order for a man to be called a king and rule over a country he had to become illuminated by his queens elixer., soma, ambrosia , etc. This is the true hidden/occult meaning of becoming anointed. Pouring oil on top of someone’s head does nothing. It’s the metaphor for the true inner meaning.
I'm sorry but your recounting of the Roman kings and emperors is completely inaccurate.
I stopped watching because of the narrator’s Kardashian-like vocal fry.
Get rid of the royal families and make their palaces into public schools or homeless shelters. Give to the needy and educate the poor.
These places need to be preserved for its historical value. I agree we need to build more schools and help the needy but this is not the way to do it.
@@alexbramley195 The needy have just as much right to these properties as the rich and affluent. Save the historical landmarks and help the needy with homes. Letting homeless people live in them does not mean getting rid of the landmarks, it's just putting the landmark buildings into much greater use. Rich people living in these landmark buildings doesn't make them better. Caring to the needy in this way would give the property a higher karma and better and kinder remembrance. It would be going to a good cause and tugging at the heart strings of all who hear of this kindness.
@@alexbramley195 Even needy people and schools know how to help preserve historical landmarks, while also providing homes and schooling for under privileged people. Rich people aren't the only ones that understand the need to preserve historical sites.
Most of these castles need a lot of care and maintenance which is why they become museums, wedding venues or hotels. I agree we need more public schools and homeless shelters, but I don't think moving people into Neuschwanstein is the way to do it.
Lol no if a royal family is no longer ruling a nation then there castles should turn into museums for tourism or maybe hotels.
Stop calling her 'Queen Consort Camilla' please. Her correct title is Queen Camilla
She is still Queen Consort until coronation.
@@nmv33 no she isn't. She is Queen Camilla, just like Queen Elizabeth (Queen mother), Quen Mary, Queen Alexandra & Queen Adelaide. All of them were queen consorts, but never referred to as such
@@timallardyce1216 maybe she is just saying that to differentiate her from Queen Elizabeth II who was queen regnant from 1952-2022 (70 years). It has been 70 years since UK had a queen consort (husband of the king), Queen Elizabeth (wife of King George VI). People got confused so there needs to be a clarification as of now.
@@nmv33 It's got nothing to do with coronation- it's 2 different types of queen. A Queen Consort, like Camilla, is just the wife of a king, & he's the actual monarch. A Queen Regnant, like Elizabeth II, is the actual monarch in her own right, by birth, regardless of who or if she marries. We just usually don't use it as part of their title: Elizabeth II wasn't called Queen Regnant Elizabeth II, & her mother wasn't called Queen Consort Elizabeth. It could've been useful tho!
Darling, I love your video.
But there is no such as BCE. Since the bce/ce nonsense is based on Jesus, you may use the proper naming of BC/AD.
This way people will know what you are talking about and won't be confused and annoyed.
I think you have that backwards. BC stands for Before Christ, and AD stands for Anno Domini, both references to Jesus. BCE means before the common era, removing the reference to Jesus, but still keeping the current numbering of years.
@Marie Clapdorp maybe I did not phrase it properly. It still counts the years from the birth of Jesus. Thus, just the same difference whatever you call it, as long as Jesus is included. 😃
I agree. BC/AD was fine until just recently, I suppose because of the P.C. (POLITICALLY CORRECT) stuff. Look, the Jews and the Muslims have their own dating systems, but I never heard them complain about using our calendar; I don't see why the historians should change now either. Another example of messing with things just for the hell of it.
@@marieclapdorp2580 Exactly; BCE/CE is the NON-Christian terminology! And if you're objecting to counting history from Jesus' birth, you're saying we should change our entire dating system, & there shouldn't be any need to explain how UTTERLY INSANE & STUPID that would be! And given Jesus quite likely wasn't even born in 1AD, you can't take the whole thing too seriously.
Her accent is so awful that I only lasted a few seconds. Had I got to the point where BCE was used I would have stopped watching.
ur microphone is a bit too loud.
i love you u Lindsay, please spare us Chucky's and his Bride's coronation.
