The Coronation of the Bohemian monarch (in czech: korunovace českého panovníka) was a ceremony in which the king (or queen-regnant) and queen-consort (if there was at time) was formally crowned, annoited and invested with regalia. It corresponded to the coronation ceremonies that occurred in other European monarchies, especially France, Germany and partially neighboring Hungary and England. Like in France and England the king's reign began immediately upon the death of his predecessor.
