The Coronation Ceremony has its origin in the year 800, in the coronation of Charlemagne by Pope Leo. 111. The rite then represented the opposite aspects of Euro pean Monarchy, aiulon the other hand was a continuation of popular election, and of the pledge given by the Sovereign to preserve the rights of the people. Of this idea two traces remain—the recognition of the Sovereign tit the demand of the Archbishop, and the Coronation Oath, which guarantees the popular and legal rights of the people. The unction with the gift of the Crown comes down from the Jews, though it is claimed that it began with Charlemagne. " Not all the water in the rough rude sea, Can wash the balm from an anointed King." A King before his coronation is as a liishop-elect before his consecra tion, or a Nonconformist minister without episcopal ordination.
