List of royal coronations
The Coronation of the Bohemian monarch was a ceremony in which the king (or queen-regnant) and queen-consort (if there was at time) was formally crowned, anoited and invested with regalia. It corresponded to the coronation ceremonies that occurred in other European monarchies, especially France, Germany and partially neighboring Hungary and England. Like in France and England the king's reign began immediately upon the death of his predecessor. Location of all coronations was St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague, from time it was founded. Person performing coronation of king was Archbishop of Prague. Until archibishopic of Prague was established in 1344, the archbishop of Mainz has the right to crown king (and queen) of Bohemia. This right was derived from his position as Primas Germaniae of Holy Roman Empire. Ordinance for coronation (with all requisites to be performed) was set in coronation prescription (ordo in Latin, korunovační řád in Czech) made by king Charles I (Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor). The first crowned ruler (king) of Bohemia was Vratislaus II of Bohemia. During the Middle Ages, it was held that enthronement would make a person Duke of Bohemia and that only coronation would make a person King of Bohemia. So coronations were held shortly after accession of new king (or acceptance of new king). In modern era the new king ascended on throne after death of his predecessor as king and coronation ceremony was held some time after accession.
