Coronation of the French monarch

The accession of the king of France to the royal throne was legitimized by a ceremony performed with the Crown of Charlemagne at the Reims Cathedral. In late medieval and early modern times, the new king did not need to be anointed in order to be recognized as French monarch but ascended upon the previous monarch's death with the proclamation "Le Roi est mort, vive le Roi! " The most important part of the French ceremony was not the coronation itself, but the Sacre – the anointing or unction of the king.
