The book explores the historical practice of royal self-coronations, debunking the myth that Napoleon was the first to undertake such an act. It reveals that self-coronations have a rich tradition dating back to late antiquity, illustrating that the practice was more common and accepted than previously thought. Through a comprehensive analysis, the author sheds light on the cultural and political implications of self-coronations throughout history, challenging conventional narratives about this significant royal ritual.
