Did queen elizabeth I have a coronation ceremony?

Question

thank you!

: )

Answer 1

Yes, she did and it was about the most boring thing I ever watched on television.  I don't remember when it was, but I was a child and my parents thought that it was important that we watch it.  Seemed like it lasted for hours.  She looked pretty good back then, though.  Was thinner and didn't carry a purse during the ceremony.

Whoops!  My mistake.  That's what happens when I stay up too late on Q/A.

Answer 2

If she was queen of England, which she was, I'm sure she had a coronation ceremony, just like any other ruling monarch of England.

Answer 3

yes she was young and attractive with a good figure thats when they crowned her gave her a robe   &septor its like a wand she became queen when her dad died

Answer 4

There’s some confusion here. The OP is asking about Elizabeth I (1533-1603), but The Bellepepper is talking about Elizabeth II, the present Queen of the United Kingdom.

Zaza is wrong to say that Elizabeth I became queen when her father died (which was in 1547). First her younger half-brother became king (Edward VI), till he died in 1553. Then her elder half-sister became queen (Mary I/”Bloody Mary”), and Elizabeth only became queen in  1559 when she was 26 years old.

Certainly she had a coronation ceremony; every English monarch since Anglo-Saxon times has had one. It was similar in all its basics to the one that the present Queen had. There’s a portrait of her in her coronation robes, wearing her crown and holding the orb and sceptre (symbols of monarchy), with her famous red hair loose. You can see it at the first URL below.

Answer 5

of course...

Answer 6

Yes she did, at the age of 25.

Answer 7

Queen Elizabeth I had an enormous and lavish coronation ceremony.

There was an enormous procession from the Tower of London to Westminster, with triumphal arches, tableaus, fanfares of trumpets,the streets decked with banners.  The Queen, who rode in a golden palanquin carried by two horses, with a canopy of crimson velvet held over her, often stopped to speak to some of the common people and receive 'nosegays' from them (small bunches of flowers, though as it was January I am not sure how many flowers would have been around then).

The next day there was another grand procession from Westminster hall to the Abbey church of Saint Peter.  The Queen, robed in crimson velvet, wtih an ermine cape and a cap of crimson velevet emboridered with pearls and venice gold, walked into the abbey, and satin a the Cahir of State in the middle of the church.  Here she was proclaimed to the four corners of the building and then acclaimed by the congregation, with such a cacophany of shouting, pealing bells, organ music, fifes, trumpets and rolling drums that it seemed to one spectator 'as if the world were come to an end.'

Answer 8

Yes, Elizabeth I of England coronation took place on 15 January 1559. She wore her coronation robes, patterned with Tudor roses and trimmed with ermine. She wore her hair loose, as traditional for the coronation of a queen, perhaps also as a symbol of virginity.
