Coronations of William the Conqueror and Matilda
text:
The coronation of William the Conqueror as King of England took place at Westminster Abbey, London, on 25 December 1066, following the Norman Conquest of England. It was the first coronation which can be proved to have been held at Westminster. In May 1068, William's wife, Matilda of Flanders, was also crowned at the abbey. At Easter in 1070, William was crowned for a second time at Winchester by three papal legates, to confirm the acceptance of his rule by the Catholic Church.
