[1] [2] [3] To speake with what honour he was receiued in|to the citie of Paris, what pageants were prepared, and how richlie the gates, streets, and bridges on eue|rie side were hanged with costlie clothes of arras & tapestrie, it would be too long a processe, and there|fore I doo héere passe it ouer with silence. On the sea|uentéenth daie of December,King Henrie the sixt crow|ned in Paris. he was crowned king of France, in our ladie church of Paris, by the cardi|nall of Winchester, the bishop of Paris not being contented that the cardinall should doo such an high ceremonie in his church and iurisdiction. After all the ceremonies were finished, the king returned toward the palace, hauing one crowne on his head, and ano|ther borne before him; and one scepter in his hand, and the second borne before him. As touching other the roiall seruices and princelie appointments, Le Rosier historiall. they are verie diligentlie & at large set out in the French chronicle of that time. This coronation of the king, Anglorum praelia as manie other good and memora|ble matters, so this also he hath noted, saieng thereof in comelie breuitie and truth, as after followeth:
Aeternae famae paulo post rege sepulto,Parisijs, diadema vias & compita circumIunior Henricus portat lepidissimus infans.
