Why do kings and queens wear crowns?
To signify that they are the 'Head of State', (a kingdom); NOT a republic. In the U.K. King Charles, wears the crown on very formal occasions only, such as the annual state opening of parliament. The lords of the UK , the aristocracy, wear little crowns at the same event. These little crowns are called coronets. The king on acceding to the throne has to wait until his coronation (crowning ceremony), where upon the Archbishop of Canterbury places the crown on the King's head. He does NOT do it for himself. This is to signify that the Archbishop and everybody else in the country acknowledges that the King is the Crowned King. The Queen , who is his wife, is also his legal consort, and so also has a smaller crown placed on here head. The late Queen Elizabeth(II) was Queen Regnant , not consort, so she wore the crown rather than here husband , who was Prince Consort. In terms of protocol in the UK. The king is the First Person, The Archbishops of Canterbury is the Second Person, and the Lord Chancellor is the Third Person in the country. The Queen Consort is not is this 'pecking order', nor any members of the Royal Family, nor the Prime Minister. The crown is a very heavy 'hat' about 2 kilograms ( 4 pounds weight), and because of this it is not worn very often , nor for very long periods of time. The late Queen in her latter years did not wear the crown , because of its weight, so it was placed on a cushion alongside here. Crowns have been worn for over two thousand (2000) years. The Caesars of the Roman Empire wore a crown of Laurel leaves, which you can see in pictures of that period. Modern Kings and Queens, of different countries around the world have crowns to wear too, e,g, Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Spain. In different parts of the world, it takes the form of a different shaped 'hat', but invariably there are many jewels in its construction.
Who is the eye witness of thomas beckets murder?
There were several witnesses (including the four knights that King Henry sent to do the murder). The best-know witness account is by a man named Edward Grim."...The wicked knight leapt suddenly upon him, cutting off the top of the crown which the unction of sacred chrism had dedicated to God. Next he received a second blow on the head, but still he stood firm and immovable. At the third blow he fell on his knees and elbows, offering himself a living sacrifice, and saying in a low voice, 'For the name of Jesus and the protection of the Church, I am ready to embrace death.' But the third knight inflicted a terrible wound as he lay prostrate. By this stroke, the crown of his head was separated from the head in such a way that the blood white with the brain, and the brain no less red from the blood, dyed the floor of the cathedral. The same clerk who had entered with the knights placed his foot on the neck of the holy priest and precious martyr, and, horrible to relate, scattered the brains and blood about the pavements, crying to the others, 'Let us away, knights; this fellow will arise no more.' "(Quote source: Christopher Lee This Sceptred Isle 55BC - 1901 (1997) p.73 )
