Coronations in Europe

Coronations were previously held in the monarchies of Europe. The United Kingdom is the only monarchy in Europe that still practises coronation.^[1] Other European monarchies have either replaced coronations with simpler ceremonies to mark an accession (e.g. Norway and Denmark) or have never practised coronations (e.g. The Netherlands and Belgium). Most monarchies today only require a simple oath to be taken in the presence of the country's legislature.
