King’s head after the unction and to be
worn for eight days. There was still
another robe, or suit, of purple velvet,
possibly to be worn at the banquet. It
comprised a kirtle, a tabard, a surcoat, a
mantle with train, a hood, and a cap of
estate.
REPRESENTATIONS
Several reproductions of old repre-
sentations of Coronations are given in
Dr. Wickham Legg’s book ; I will here
note only a few additional examples. In
the Painted Chamber at Westminster
was a fine large picture painted about
1275 representing the Coronation of
Edward the Confessor (see Plate II.).
When drawn by Stothard it had been
much damaged so that some details were
missing. The King held a sceptre, and
the rod with the dove; his mantle seems
to have been a pale violet. Two arch-
bishops, one on either hand, simul-
taneously support the crown on the King’s
head; behind stand their cross-bearers
