XV. Of the Ceremonies observed in the Coronations of the Kings and Queens of Hungary AFter all necessary Preparations have been made for the Solemnity of the Coronation the Ceremonies of it are performed in this manner In the first place an Election is made of those who are to go and fetch the Crown Scepter Globe representing the World Sword Coat of Arms the Royal Habits and Cross in the City of Presbourg where they are kept with the Standards of the Kingdom They discharge this Duty and carry them to the Church The Palatin takes the Crown and places it on the right side of the Altar where the Arch-bishop of Strigonium says Mass the Prelates sit about the Steps of the Altar and some of them lead the King from the Throne to the Altar or from the Altar to his Seat the rest serve for some other Action of the Coronation The Kings Throne decked with Cloth of Gold is pretty near the Altar and opposite to the middle of it having over it a Cloth of State of the same Stuff as that of the Seat. The King kneels first upon the Steps of the Altar and Kisses the Cross which the Arch-Bishop of Strigonium presents to him then takes the Oath contained in the Roman Pontifical saying the Words after the Arch-bishop and laying his Right hand on the Gospel with Eyes lifted up to Heaven as if he called God to witness After the Oath he is anointed by the Arch-bishop on the right Arm near the Elbow and betwixt the two Shoulders Then being cloathed with the Coat of Arms of King St. Stephen he receives from the same Arch-Bishop the naked Cuttelas of the same Saint then gives it back to the Arch-bishop who returns it into the Scabbard and then girds it to his side That being done the King turned towards the Altar as Defender of the Altars Religion and the Church draws the Sword out of the Scabbard and brandishing it three ways in the Air gives so many blows then the Arch-Bishop taking the Crown gives it to the Palatin who holding it up on high with both his Hands and being upon the Steps of the Altar asks aloud all that are present if they would have him Crown'd for their King and having three times put the same question unto them upon their answering in the Affirmative he is crowned and receives from the Arch-Bishop the Scepter in the right hand the Globe in the left and all the marks of Royal Dignity After that he sits down on the Throne as taking Possession of the Kingdom Then all the Hungarians make loud Shouts and Acclamations wishing the King a long and prosperous Reign and at the same time the Vocal and Instrumental Musick the Trumpets Drums and Cannon mingle their noise with the confused Voices Mass being said and the Streets through which the King is to go being Boarded and covered with White Green and Red Cloth the King walks from the Church where he was to another wearing the Crown and Coat of Arms some carrying before him the Royal Ornaments and Standards and a great many others walking before and after him At the same time pieces of Gold and Silver are scattered among the People in all the Streets through which the King passes who coming to the other Church sits down on the Royal Throne erected there and makes some Knights striking them thrice on the Back with the naked Sword of St. Stephen as they are kneeling before him This being done he comes out of the Church and mounting on Horse back with the Crown and Coat of Arms having the same persons on Horse-back who walked before or followed him on foot as he came in the same Order he goes out of the Town and alighting with the Arch-bishop of Strigonium mounts up upon a Theater where lifting up the Right hand he takes an Oath to the Hungarians to maintain the Priviledges of the Nobility do Justice to all observe the Laws of the Kingdom and procure the good of the Publick In the mean time all are uncovered and when he hath taken the Oath all again shout and amidst the noise of great Guns wish him all sort of Prosperity Afterwards he mounts a stately and well-managed Horse and spurs him towards an adjoyning ground where putting him upon the Carrier and drawing the Sword of St. Stephen he makes in form of a Cross four stroaks in the Air turning his Horse very nimbly as threatning the four Corners of the World and then there is nothing to be heard but Volleys of great Guns After this the new King putting his Horse to a Walk draws near the Lords who are Spectators and with them goes to his Pallace where he feasts them sitting at Table with his Crown and Coat of Arms and being served by some Barons and Grandees of the Kingdom appointed for that Office and when Dinner is over they who have the charge of the Crown and Royal Ornaments carry them back to their place Now to shew you the Ceremonies of the Coronation of the Queens of Hungary I 'll give you here an Abridgment of what past when the present Emperess Anna Maria of Bavaria Palatiness of Newbourg was Crowned Queen of Hungary in the Town of Edimbourg in the year 1681. The Emperor in his Imperial Habits and the Domestick Crown of the Empire on his Head went with his Attendants to the Church of the Recollets where he was received
with a powerful Army the Chief Commanders of the Hungarian Army perswaded the young King who being hardly Twenty years of Age was much wanting in Conduct and had not Forces sufficient to make head against the Turks to give them Battle without staying for the Succors that were to come to him from Transilvania They were puffed up with their former Victories and so swollen with a good Conceit of themselves that they ●hought none were able to stand against them and that their Reservedness might make the Hungarians enter●ain a bad opinion of the resolution of ●heir Army The Event answered ●he rashness of that Counsel for that ●ovely Army of the Hungarians consist●ng of the best part of the Nobility ●nd chief Forces of the Kingdom was ●outed and cut in pieces The King was ●ot killed in the Fight but his Horse ●hrew him into a Mire where he ●tuck and died after he had for a ●ong time fought Valiantly with the Barbarians on the other side of the Town His Body was found two Months after the Battle in the River ●f Czelepatuka and was interred in ●he Burying-place of the Kings in the City of Alba Regalis That unhappy ●efeat of the Christians and that ●ictory of the Turks occasioned in the ●equel the loss of the chief part of the ●ingdom of Hungary The Bishops ●hemselves aswell as the rest of ●he Clergy made it apparent in that Battle that they were very good Soldiers for the common Cause of Christendom for no fewer than six Bishops were killed in that fatal Overthrow and amongst them Paul Tomorie Archbishop of Colocza one of the chief who had advised the King to engage in that Battle His Head was carried to Solyman who called it a foolish Head and incapable of giving its Master good Council This is the Inscription that was made in memory of that fatal day Ludovicus solo nomine secundus Ad coronas natus non formatus Diadema Hungaricum secundo quarto aetatis Bohemicum Ut Immaturus acquisivit Ita maturè secum utrumque perdidit Foelicior si solus perire potuisset Eandem tamen cum Rege fatalis urna sortem Experire coacta Hungaria Ducenta suorum millia eodem luctu deploravit Luctuosum praevisorum malorum initium Lachrymabile futurorum dolorum argumentum THE BATTLE OF S. GODARD THis Battle was fought the first of August in the year 1664. at St. Godard betwixt Kermin and Canisa in the Lower Hungary In this place one half of the Turkish Army passed the River of Raab to attack the Imperialists but hardly were these Troops got over the River when without giving them time to entrench themselves the Imperial Forces under the Command of General Montecuculi being drawn up to receive them forced them to fight and utterly defeated the greatest part of the Turks the rest betook themselves shamefully to flight who crowding in great haste to re-pass the River threw themselves head-long into the Water and were carried away by the Stream so that the Rapidity of the River forcing along with it Men and Horses they were drowned in the deepest places it being certain that more perished in the Water than by the Sword And the Turks themselves acknowledged that they lost many more Men than the Gazets of Europe mentioned To which they added that their Histories did not speak of so great and so shameful a Disgrace happened to the Ottoman Empire since it had attained to so high a degree of Power as that Disaster was The Turks left above Eight Thousand Men upon the place and the Glory of the day to the Imperialists which was immediately followed by a Peace that the Turks proposed and greedily embraced of which these were the Conditions 1. That Transilvania should continue within its ancient Limits and with its ancient Priviledges under the Command of Prince Michael Abaffi 2. That the Emperour of Germany should have Liberty to fortifie Gutta and Nitra 3. That the Turks should make no Innovation in the Regulation made for the Frontiers as well of Hungary as of the other Territories of the Emperour 4. That Abaffi should pay six hundred Thousand Crowns to the Port for the Charges of the War. 5. That all Acts of Hostility betwixt the Emperour and Grand Signior and their Subjects should for ever cease 6. That the two Provinces of Zatmar and Zaboli given to Ragotzi for Life should again return to his Imperial Majesty and neither the Prince of Transilvania nor the Grand Signior pretend any Right to them 7. That the strong Castle of Zechelhyd which revolted from the Emperour should be demolished because neither Party would renounce their Pretentions to so important a place 8. That Waradin and Newheusel should remain in the Possession of the Turks who had carried them by their Arms. 9. That for Confirmation of the Peace the two Emperours should send Ambassadours to one another with reciprocal Presents of equal value THE BATTLE AND RELIEF OF VIENNA The 12th of September 1683.
