Purpose and description

Let an agent explain the coronation, relay its purpose, ritual and variation from history sources, describe the forms its aliases name, and distinguish a coronation from a simple accession and from an inauguration.

A ceremony in which a monarch or ruler is formally crowned and invested with the symbols of office, marking their accession; the registry aliases name specific forms such as papal coronation, the coronation of the Byzantine emperor and self-coronation. A coronation is a kind of enthronement and investiture, often with religious ritual, and its form varies by country and era, so the specific tradition should be identified.

What it is for: Formally crowning and investing a ruler.

It can be explain the ceremony; relay its ritual and variation; describe named forms; distinguish it from an inauguration.
