    Beautiful.
    Even we at the bottom of the earth, have a crowned mace when our parliament is in session in Hobart.
    When we traveled in '19 I told my son "when people ask you where you are from, say Hobart. They will either know, be interested and ask, or not be bothered. He said in most countries many were aware of his city, but in the UK, nine out of ten, knew.
    For many of us, free or transported, we trace much of our history to the United Kingdom, though not all and unlike in my childhood increasingly embrace nations that did and do reside in our land. My ancestor moved here with his family 202 years ago (I also have convict ancestry). Yet our shared history with the United Kingdom still resonates so deeply.
    I thank you for your work.

      Thanks - very interesting mace research I didn't know about.
      You probably already know, 1381 was a significant moment in the Lord Mayor of London's history which saw him defending the greedy establishment from citizens rising up to demand change. The Great Rising (later known as the Peasants Revolt) came to a halt when the then Lord Mayor William Wallworth fatally stabbed the rebel leader Wat Tyler the rebel leader in the neck mid way through negotiations to end the violence.
      Brutal!
      In this case the King was actually sympathetic to the citizens rather than the greedy establishment (the Great Rising was an appeal to the King, not a rebellion against him) so I can see why you wouldn't include it here. But I think it's still interesting context for anyone seeking to understand how the City of London relates to British citizens today.

    Thanks for this, one of many historical curiosities surrounding the coronation. A small quibble; the procession from the Tower or "royal entry" was on the day before the coronation. On the day itself, the ceremony began at 7 am in Westminster Hall when the king presented various nobles and clerics with the items of regalia, which were carried on foot to the Abbey. So there were two processions up to and including 1661.

    The use of the mace as a symbol of authority comes from a long line of weapons being used to represent the physical force of the state. Probably most famously there were the axes of the lictors who accompanied Roman consuls, dictators and other official posts in the Roman Republic.
    The city of London is based on the old Roman city's limits.Interestingly it was abandoned in the early Anglo-Saxon period due to the pagan Anglo-Saxons' suspicions of Roman ruins - which of course were far more intact and impressive that what exists today - and their perceived numious power. They did how ever create a settlement outside of it at some point. Only under Alfred the Great did the Anglo-Saxons move back into the city of London, largely because Alfred wanted to use the Roman walls as a basis for new rules as protection afainst the Vikings. The old settlement fell into decline but remained the district of Alnwick.
    It is also worth remembering that London was connected by a Hanseatic league trading post to many northern European cities such as Lübeck with a strong tradition in goldsmithing. So it is very likely the latest techniques would have quickly disseminated there making its construction in London itself more probable.

    Your channel was recently recommended to me, and I think it's great. This episode was of particular interest as my 5th great Uncle John Burnell was the Lord Mayor of London in 1787-88. He is to this day the oldest person to have served in that position, aged 83. John was originally a stonemason from Rothwell in Yorkshire and went to London to make his fortune. (à la Dick Whittington).
    The City (of London) Biography (2nd Edition: 1800) described him as "very rich and very penurious".
    It is also recorded in the City Biography that when his son fell off a ladder and killed himself Burnell's first question was "is the ladder all right?" [More likely to be a southern interpretation of "is the lad all right?"]
    His table manners were said to be rather defective. He is said to have been advised by John Wilkes (Lord Mayor 1774-5) at a city feast when having difficulty in cutting a pudding with an ordinary implement to try a trowel!
    His story was featured in edition 2 of 'Who Do You Think You Are' magazine.

    I worked in the Supreme Court in Scotland about 25ish years ago, and the Macers would carry the mace into court followed by the judge. The mace would remain on the wall of the court during the court preceding for that day. It was removed at the end of the day. The maces used for criminal and civil courts were mostly from the 17th/18th centuries. The Lord President of the Court of Session would have the large gold macs, very much as you see it in the commons. Brilliant videos. Throughly enjoy them!

    9:45 you WILL see ducal robes unless the nobility and royal princes attend without any robes this time, which is highy questionable.
    it is one of the few privileges left to attend coronation in full battle dress, shiny coronets included.

    I wonder which part of the Coronation the Mayor of London will be changing into a something more "diverse" ?

    That crown on the sceptre - is there any evidence it is a representation of one of the real crowns ie the original St Edwards or is it just "made up" ?

      More likely of a state crown - English state crowns were similar circlets of crosses and fleur-de-lys.

    What role do you think the elected Mayor of London could have in the coronation ceremony?

      @TT-zd6nr 2 роки тому +4

      I would hope the mayor would get the same treatment as any senior elected politician, i.e. an invite to the coronation, especially as it is held in the city. No role in the ceremony however.

      He may walk in the procession in the Abbey. Because I know for sure that the Prime Minister is part of procession. But since the office of Mayor was created in 2000, there is no precedent.

    • @allanbarton
      @allanbarton  2 роки тому +1

      That is interesting in itself, that is primarily because the Prime Minister as First Lord of the Treasury, occupies part of one of the great offices of state, that of High Treasurer, which has long been divided up and held in commission.
