At some point, the Kingdom of Talossa will have a coronation. The College of Arms takes no part in the discussion over who should be King, however, if Talossa is to have a King, that King must be crowned. Thus, as the institution that advises the King on matters of protocol and precedent, the College should be prepared for a coronation.
Here are a few of the many questions the Fellows of the College should begin to consider about the upcoming coronation:
- Where should the coronation be held?
- What should be the date? Should a one year mourning period pass between the abdication of King Louis and the coronation of the next king?
- What is the order of precedence for the procession?
- Who should do the crowning? Should the King be anointed? Can we get Archbishop Dolan to help?
- Should Peers and members of the Royal Family wear coronets? If so, what design should they have? Should these coronets display heraldic emblems based on rank or association to the monarch? Who else, if anyone, should wear a coronet?
- Should a queen consort (if any) be crowned as part of the general coronation ceremony? If so, when? If not, when?
This list is not complete, but is only a starting spot. Fellows of the College, let us consider our duty, and begin to prepare.
