THE CORONATION OF HENRY IV *
And after dinner the Duke departed
from the Tower to Westminster, and
rode all the way bareheaded, and about
his neck the livery of France. He was
accompanied with the prince his son, and
six dukes, six earls, and eighteen barons,
and in all, knights and squires, a nine
hundred horse : then the king had on a
short coat of cloth of gold after the
manner of Germany, and he was mounted
on a white courser, and the garter on his
left leg.
Thus the Duke rode through London
with a great number of lords, every lord’s
servant in their master’s livery, all the
burgesses and Lombard’s merchants in
London, and every craft with their livery
and device.
Thus he was conveyed to Westminster.
He was in number a six thousand horse,
and the streets were hanged as he passed
