|

53 | <font size="2">The coronation was not a success, despite its expense.&nbsp;
|
---|
54 | Anne was not popular.&nbsp; Insults were shouted; mocking laughter was
|
---|
55 | heard.&nbsp; Anne was already two months pregnant with the future Queen
|
---|
56 | Elizabeth I.&nbsp; This undoubtedly hastened her secret marriage and
|
---|
57 | coronation.&nbsp; Henry VIII wanted no one to doubt the legitimacy of his

58 | son or the nobility of his parentage.</font></td>

62 | On
|
---|
63 | Thursday 29 May, Lady Anne, marquess of Pembroke, was received as queen
|
---|
64 | of England by all the lords of England.&nbsp; And the mayor and aldermen,
|
---|
65 | with all the guilds of the City of London, went to Greenwich in their barges
|
---|
66 | after the best fashion, with also a barge of bachelors of the mayor's guild
|
---|
67 | richly hung with cloth of gold with a great number to wait on her.&nbsp;
|
---|
68 | And so all the lords with the mayor and all the guilds of London brought
|
---|
69 | her by water from Greenwich to the Tower of London, and there the king's
|
---|
70 | grace received her as she landed, and then over a thousand guns were fired
|
---|
71 | at the Tower, and others were fired at Limehouse, and on other ships lying
|
---|
72 | in the Thames. </p>
|
---|
73 |
|
---|
74 | <p>And on Saturday, the last day of May, she rode from the Tower of London
|
---|
75 | through the City with a goodly company of lords, knights and gentlemen,
|
---|
76 | with all the peers of the realm, richly appareled.&nbsp; She herself rode
|
---|
77 | in a rich chariot covered with cloth of silver, and a rich canopy of cloth
|
---|
78 | of silver borne over her head by the four Lords of the Ports, in gowns
|
---|
79 | of scarlet, followed by four richly hung chariots of ladies; and also several
|
---|
80 | other ladies and gentlewoman riding on horseback, all in gowns made of
|
---|
81 | crimson velvet.&nbsp; And there were various pageant made on scaffolds
|
---|
82 | in the city; and all the guilds were standing in their liveries, every
|
---|
83 | one in order, the mayor and aldermen standing in Cheapside.&nbsp; And when
|
---|
84 | she&nbsp; came before them the Recorder of London made a goodly presentation
|
---|
85 | to her, and then the mayor gave her a purse of cloth of fold with a thousand
|
---|
86 | marks of angel nobles in it, as a present from the whole of the city; and
|
---|
87 | so the lords brought her to the palace of Westminster and left her there
|
---|
88 | that night.
|
---|
89 | <p>On 1 June Queen Anne was brought from Westminster Hall to St Peter's
|
---|
90 | Abbey in procession, with all the monks of Westminster going in rich copes
|
---|
91 | of gold, with thirteen mitred abbots; and after them all the king's chapel
|
---|
92 | in rich copes with four bishops and two mitred archbishops, and all the
|
---|
93 | lords going in their parliament robes, and the crown borne before her by
|
---|
94 | the duke of Suffolk, and her two sceptres by two earls, and she herself
|
---|
95 | going under a rich canopy of cloth of gold, dressed in a kirtle of crimson
|
---|
96 | velvet decorated with ermine, and a robe of purple velvet decorated with
|
---|
97 | ermine over that, and a rich coronet with a cap of pearls and stones on
|
---|
98 | her head; and the old duchess of Norfolk carrying her train in a robe of
|
---|
99 | scarlet with a coronet of gold on her cap, and Lord Burgh, the queen's
|
---|
100 | Chamberlain, supporting the train in the middle.
|
---|
101 | <p>After her followed ten ladies in robes of scarlet trimmed with ermine
|
---|
102 | and round coronets of gold on their heads; and next after them all the
|
---|
103 | queen's maids in gowns of scarlet edged with white Baltic fur.&nbsp; And
|
---|
104 | so she was brought to St Peter's church at Westminster, and there set in
|
---|
105 | her high royal seat, which was made on a high platform before the altar.&nbsp;
|
---|
106 | And there she was anointed and crowned queen of England by the archbishop
|
---|
107 | of Canterbury and the archbishop of York, and so sat, crowned, in her royal
|
---|
108 | seat all through the mass, and she offered at the said mass.&nbsp; And
|
---|
109 | when the mass was done they left, every man in his order, to Westminster
|
---|
110 | Hall, she still going under the canopy, crowned, with two sceptres in her
|
---|
111 | hands, my Lord Wiltshire her father, and Lord Talbot leading her, and so
|
---|
112 | dined there; and there was made the most honourable feast that has been
|
---|
113 | seen.
|
---|
114 | <p>The great hall at Westminster was richly hung with rich cloth of Arras,
|
---|
115 | and a table was set at the upper end of the hall, going up twelve steps,
|
---|
116 | where the queen dined; and a rich cloth of estate hung over her head.&nbsp;
|
---|
117 | There were also four other tables along the hall; and it was railed on
|
---|
118 | every side, from the high dais in Westminster Hall to the platform in the
|
---|
119 | church in the abbey.
|
---|
120 | <p>And when she went to church to her coronation there was a striped blue
|
---|
121 | cloth spread from the high dais of the king's bench to the high altar of
|
---|
122 | Westminster on which she went.
|
---|
123 | <p>And when the queen's Grace had washed her hands, then came the duke
|
---|
124 | of Suffolk, high constable for that day and steward of the feast, riding
|
---|
125 | on horseback, richly dressed and decorated, and with him, also riding on
|
---|
126 | horseback, Lord William Howard as deputy for the duke of Norfolk in his
|
---|
127 | office of marshall of England, and there came the queen's service followed
|
---|
128 | by the archbishop's with a certain space between, which was all borne by
|
---|
129 | knights; the archbishop sitting at the queen's board, at the end on her
|
---|
130 | left hand.&nbsp; The earl of Sussex was sewer, earl of Essex carver, earl
|
---|
131 | of Derby cup bearer, earl of Arundel butler, Viscount Lisle panter, and
|
---|
132 | Lord Grey almoner.
