[MR] Coronation Practices (Was: Queen's Corner)

[Sharon Henderson]

O.O  Wow... not that I'll ever need to use it, but that idea totally rocks
my little early Renaissance world--and if I were going to be crowned, I
would want to do that--either as ruler or consort.  How incredibly moving
that would be--if both persons being crowned recited the names of their
"ancestors", or even wrote and recited a poem extolling their virtues and
humbly hoping to follow in their path!

THIS is so cool.

Meli,
stunned in a good way
