There would be two propositions which he en the Queen was crowned by herself. William Rufus treated their Lordships to bear in mind while he went through his narrative of historical facts. The was crowned immediately on his election to the Throne: he (Mr. Brougham) called it his election, first was the uniform exercise of the right; namely, that no King had ever been crowned, being married for he and the next two Kings of the Norman line at the time of his Coronation, without the Queen- ascended the Throne rather by election than by any claim founded upon hereditary right; for, according consort herself partaking with the King in the so t lemnity of the Coronation ; and, secondly, that there to William of Malmsbury, they were, in point of fact, never was a Queen-consort in England who had not elected by a Council of Nobles, and crowned about . partaken of the ceremony of the Coronation : but in eleven days after.

It was said that the time of Richard 1136. Henry 11. was crowned December the First was the point to which it might be sufficient but there was some doubt as to the time of of his Queen Eleanor. According to Jervis, vague and undefined : but he was prepared not to of Canterbury, she was crowned with him; but, ac. content himself with only beginning at Richard the cording .to others, she was crowned in 1155, and 1 First—for he had authentic materials to shew the 11;7. Henry 11. was, in fact, crowned twice, some uniform practice which he affirmed, through the said three times; the first time he was unmarried. A very remarkable circumstance occurred during the whole range of British history. It was said that there was some doubt whether, in point of fact, Queens reign of that Prince : the solemnity of .crowning his had been crowned in the early period of Saxon eldest son took place in his (the father's) lice -time; the Prince (or King, as he was sometimes called, from history, but there could be none in the latter Saxon times, as he was prepared to skew. He did not the fact of his coronation in his father's life-time) mean to carry their Lordships into, the early. ages was married to a daughter of Louis of France, and of Kings, when the right was settled on the field she was not .crowned although her husband wa of battle, and the ceremony of , crowning alone The novelty of that ()Mission of what was considered consisted of the Crown being held over the head of a uniform ceremony led to a complaint and remon strance to the King of England, and the result wa , that the Sovereign, and the right acknowledged by the assenting shouts of the conquering army in the field.

So that here came an interruption to a what he (Mr. Brougham) contended was a long and son whatever for doubting, that when a more settled order of things prevailed, the Saxon Queens , as well uninterrupted enjoyment on the part of Queens-con as the Kings, alike partook of the solemnity. He iii. sort of the ceremony of coronation, with or after the (erred the right of Queens to pat ticipate in the so ' Kings had undergone that solemnity—an interrop lemnity so early as the Saxon times , from the cir- ! tion not acquiesced in by the Queen or her family, i cumst.oice of a law being passed, in the year 784, : but formally and solemnly complained of; and Henry excluding Queen Adelbriga (ions the ceremony of was at length obliged to submit, for he went over to being crowned Queen of the West Saxons , because France ans`l entered into sonic compromise with Louis , 4 she had murdered herhusband.

There was a difference among the chroniclers as to the fact of the kiiig being crowned again with her at Winchester; some asserted that. he was; other! that he was not. Richard 1. had been twice crowned; it would be in vain to search for a record of his first wife's coronation, for although he espoused Alice, he never completed the marriage; and he afterWarcls married again ; and neither Alice nor the second wife ever at all came to England ; no w ife of Richard's was therefore ever within the four seas. When Richard mulled into the Sicilian family, his then Queen was crowned in the island of Cyprus, where he married her. So that in every view of the cere mony, the marriage of the Monarch appeared to bring after it, as a necessary consequence, the coro nation of the .Queen, unless where reasons of acci dent interposed, not at all affecting the general right. King John succeeded Richard, and was known to have had two wives. He was crowned by himself on the 27th of March, 1199 ; and his Queen Isabella was crowned alone, Oct. 3, 1200. John also married Arvisa, of Gloucester, from whom he was divoiced. He (Mr. Brougham) could nowhere find that she had been crowned; and here he must observe, that where the uniform and undeviating course was that a Queen was to be crowned, historians and chroniclers were less likely to set down the fact that she was crowned, than that she was not, and he took it for granted that this Queen had been clowned, as he could trace no record to the contrary : but suppose his (Mr. B.'s) opponent contended she were not—and here he must remark, that one of his difficulties in putting his argument, was in not knowing who was to be his opponent, with whom he was contending, or whether he was to be replied to—but supposing he was to have an opponent who should contend that Arvisa was not crowned, then he should say, that even ad mitting such to be the case, it could be satisfactorily accounted for without affecting his general propo sition. Arvisa was Duchess of Normandy, she was left there when John• departed for England ; he was crowned on the 27th of March, in London, in the year 1199; he left Normandy pretty much as William did—all around him was in a troubled and unquiet state : in little more than three weeks after his coro nation he had to hasten back to Normandy, where he was smitten with Isabella. That passion, no doubt, hurried his steps to divorce Arvisa, which, however, it was said he had previously contemplated before this passion had come upon him. Indeed, at the time of Arvisa's marriage, the Archbishop who performed the ceremony protested against thg match on account of her consanguinity to the King : he said that they were too near in blood, and there. fore the contract was dissoluble by the canon law.— The divorce of Arvisa was, in fact, going on during the time which intervened between the King's coro nation and the marriage with Isabella. Arvisa never in the interim came to England; so that her whole case furnished a conclusive reason why she had not enjoyed the coronation. Down to John, then, there were eight coronations of Queens, without the Kings being crowned at the same time, and eight with them; in short, eight solemnities on account of the King's royal person, including Rufus, who was unmarried. There was the same number, the very same number, eight, on account of Queen,, and by no means as a mere pageant for the Kings ; they were exclusively and entirely on account of Queens, and.they occurred uninterruptedly down to Henry 111. who was crowned in the year 1216; he was then unmarried; he was afterwards married to Eleanor of Provence, on the 14th January, 1236, and she was crowned alone six days after, namely, on the 20th of January, the King attending in person to grace the solemnity of the ; scene. Matthew Paris described the whole cere , mony—the carrying of the sword of Edward the Confessor, the Earl bearing it as Marshal of the Pa ; lace, with the right of restraining the King " if be acted amiss." The Red Book in the Exchequer was , also curiously minute upon the ceremony. Edwards , I. and H. were both crowned with their Queens; the . first on the 19th of AtiguSt, 1274, with Eleanor, and the second with Isabella, on the 2Lth of February, 1308. No observations arose upon either of these ceremonies. Edward the third came to the throne : January 26, 1326; he afterwards married Philippa, , on the . 24th January, 1327, and she was crowned alone in the April of the same year, and a proclama tion was still extant, ordering the usual solemnities to be observed on that occasion as upon the King's coronation. The Earl of HARROWBY then addressed Mr. Brougham, and said, that, as be had come toa point, he wished to inform him that the book from the Dean and Chapter of Westminster was now in the Council room, if he wished to refer to it. The D.EAN had brought the book and a missal,- which were deposited with the Council. Mr. liamittast thanked his I.Ordsilip for the in formation, but said that he should at present prefer pursuing his line of historic narrative, and that he should by and by avail himself of their Lordships' kind permission to refer to the " Liber Regalis."— Ile then referred to a proclamation issued by the Ba rons of the Cinque Ports, for the attendance of their assistants, or bearers, at the coronation of Philippa, and which was exactly the same as that observed at the solemnity for ctow-ning the King, and the same services were alike in that proclamation prescribed, and the same conditions made to depend upon-their. performance. lle now came to'the time of Richard 11. who was crowned on the lOth of July, 1577.—. Richard married his Qieen, Anne, on the 14th Ja nuary, 15$2,sand on the 22d of the same month she was crowned. Ire afterwards married liabelia, in the year x 397; and according► to the Close Roll in the Tower, she was crowned alone, with the wi t it soleniaity and pomp, the Sheriffs of London havin; been enjoined to make the usual proclamation an.l sual:nons ;is at the coronation of the Kings, tn . :A in ing the .LttCitJaocc ri All these who, by virtue of their ment to Adelbriga for her atrocious act. The law was recorded by the antiquarians who reviewed the early periods of history, as a deviation from the or dinarycourse, and an alteration alone justified by the . murder attributed to the Queen. On reference to the Saxon Chronicles, it would be found, that Judith, wife of Athelivolf, King of the West Saxons, in the year 856, according to the 6th chapter of Selden, was crowned at Rheims, and subsequently in England, in the words of the record, "like other Queens," as suming, therefore, the Coronation of the Queen to be as a matter of course, and she was crowned in the same place and_ manner as the King. That this was the case, and that it was the unifo — rm practice, was, he thought, quite clear, from the whole of the facts and reasoning in Selden's chapter " of Honours," which was a general review of those appertaining to the Coronations which had been solemnized in the preceding siz centuries ; and when their Lordships considered chat Selden wrote in the year 1670, bis au:horities, as laid open in his book, comprised a period which went back to about the Norman Conquest. There was an ancient collection, embracing a Corona tion formula; it was called, " Ordo Coronationis Ethelridi Secundi:"- but what followed was more to his present purpose—" Finit consecratio Regis.
