    Notes:

    Coronation:
    At Westminster Abbey on the 20th, "with the orgayns goinge, the quere singinge & the trumpettes" blaring in the battlements, Somerset and Cranmer together placed three crowns successively on Edward's head: St. Edward's crown, the imperial crown of England, and a third made especially for him (Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, MS. 105, page 238). Walking beneath a canopy of crimson silk and cloth of gold topped by silver bells, the boy-king wore a crimson satin robe trimmed with gold silk lace costing £118 16s. 8d. and a pair of "Sabatons" of cloth of gold. The service itself followed the Latin ordo, but in view of its length it was modified to accommodate Edward's age; the changes allowed Edward an occasional rest, and for his presentation to the people, he was carried about the stage in a "litill cheyre" of crimson velvet (British Library, Add. MS. 9069, folio 34v).
