Franks, Burgundians, and Aquitanians and the Royal Coronation Ceremony in France
Deals with two unusual French ¿ordines¿ in which relevance took precedence over tradition. In both the pregnant phrase ¿Franks, Burgundians, & Aquitanians¿ appeared in the prayer following the king¿s unction in the place traditionally occupied by the alien triad ¿Saxons, Mercians, & Northumbrians.¿ The ceremonials were thus transformed & made fully appropriate for the ruler of France. Contents of this study: (1) ¿Franks, Burgundians, & Aquitanians¿ in the 12th Century: The ¿Ordo¿ of Lat. 14192; (2) The Reappearance of ¿Franks, Burgundians, & Aquitanians¿ in Early Modern France: Jean du Tillet; Du Tillet¿s Version of the ¿Ordo Maior¿ of ¿Croix¿; Theodore Godefroy & Du Tillet¿s ¿Ordo¿; (3) Conclusion. Appendix: The ¿Ordo Maior¿ of ¿Croix.¿ Bibliography.
