{"product_id":"throne-the-3","title":"Throne, The","description":"From the crowning of Charles III, thirty-nine coronations have been held in Westminster Abbey since the Norman Conquest. Only two monarchs – Edward V and Edward VIII – were uncrowned, and a further twenty or so Scottish monarchs were crowned elsewhere, usually at either Scone Abbey or Holyrood Abbey.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn The Throne, Ian Lloyd turns his inimitable, quick-witted style to these key events in British royal history, providing fascinating anecdotes and interesting facts: William the Conqueror’s Christmas Day crowning, during which jubilant shouts were mistaken by his guards as an assassination attempt; the dual coronation of William and Mary in 1689; the pared-back ‘Half Crown-ation’ of William IV; and the televised spectacle of Elizabeth II’s 1953 ceremony.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDetailing everything from the famous Coronation Chair made for Edward I and the Crown Jewels to the infamously uncomfortable Gold State Coach – this is a truly spectacular celebration of British culture and the ultimate pomp of royalty.","brand":"The History Press Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57837072023887,"sku":"9781803992860","price":28.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/0372\/8217\/files\/9781803992860_1-throne-the.jpg?v=1780341500","url":"https:\/\/www.suomalainen.com\/products\/throne-the-3","provider":"Suomalainen.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
