The coronation of the Thirteenth king of the Germans, in the year 1002 since the birth of Christ.

The crown of Germany.

The crowning of Robert I "The Crusader", King of Germany.

It was a joyous occasion as bells rang all throughout the Imperial city of Aachen, as today was an auspicious and tremendous occasion for the Roman Empire and the house of Contentin. Within the city a grand procession had escorted the King of Germany and His Family throughout the city towards the Imperial Cathedral. Here, the archbishop of Aachen, Charles the Pious, stood present with The crown of the German Kings, worn by all the kings of Germany since Louis I as Rolf walked down the isle. Present was his wife to be and recent Princess of Bohemia, Joanna z Lotrinske, and (Hopefully) the recently crowned king of Bohemia, Boleslau I himself. The coat of arms of the de Contentin family fluttered against the royal crest of Germany. Rolf II, now known as King Robert I, came forth to the altar in his royal regalia. He knelt his head forward, awaiting for the Archbishop to place the crown upon his head.

OOC: you may post.

Once all were present, the Archbishop stepped forward.

Upon this day in the year 1002 since the birth of our Heavenly Lord's son, Jesus Christ, we stand here as witnesses to the first coronation of many to come. Today, we see the elevation of Robert of Saxony, son of Otto I and Emma Capet, to the title of King of Germany, first of his name to ever achieve this rank.

The Archbishop takes some holy water and makes the sign of the cross upon Rolf's forehead.

May he, Robert I of Germany, be empowered by God's will and grace to rule benevolently over Germany. May God be good to his fortunes and future. May his elected successors be as pious and great as he is.

Then the Archbishop turns around, taking the Crown of Germany from its cushioned seat. He then slowly approached Rolf and gently placed it upon the man's head. Then he stepped back and looked to those gathered. Rolf would then take in a deep breath and stand up, turning to the nobles gathered within the cathedral.

All hail His Majesty, Robert I, King of Germany!

The King of Bohemia, Boleslau I, stood there with his sister, Joanna, First Princess of Bohemia and betrothed to the now King of the Romans and Archduke of Saxony, Rolf. The Bohemian watches the coronation go very similar, if not copied, from his own coronation. He remains silent for now before he speaks his praise.

Hail His Majesty!
