1547 Coronation Coronations Covered Crowned Rides

EDITORS COMMENTS
Edward VI's Snowy Coronation Procession: A Historical Moment Frozen in Time This evocative image captures the young King Edward VI (1547-1553) making his way through the snow-covered streets of London during his coronation procession in February 1547. At just nine years old, Edward became king upon the death of his father, Henry VIII, and his coronation marked the formal recognition of his rule. The scene is one of stark contrasts: the regal splendor of the young monarch, resplendent in his ermine-trimmed robes and jeweled crown, juxtaposed against the wintry backdrop of London's frozen streets. The snow, which would have been a hardship for the city's inhabitants, adds a sense of serene beauty to the moment. The customs and traditions of the coronation are on full display, with the crowds lining the streets to catch a glimpse of their new king. The pageantry of the procession, with its horses, banners, and musicians, is a testament to the rich history and pageantry of Tudor England. Despite the frosty conditions, the spirit of the occasion is palpable, with the people of London turning out in force to welcome their new monarch. The snow, rather than deterring them, seems to have only added to the sense of occasion, creating a memorable and iconic moment in English history. This photograph, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of grandeur, tradition, and the simple beauty of a snowy winter's day in Tudor England.
