The study focuses on an analysis of the coronation ritual in the Kingdom of Bohemia during the 14th and 15th centuries. The coronation ritual was rooted in the Kingdom of Bohemia during the 13th century, and became a welcome occasion for the representation of royal majesty. But it was only with the ascendancy of the Luxemburg’s that it began to be perceived as a constitutive ritual for royal power, and therefore indispensable for their legitimate assertion. By writing down the coronation order under Charles IV, the legitimization character of the coronation was emphasised based, on the one hand, on the sacral essence of royal power. The coronation rites conducted during the 15th and at the beginning of the 16th centuries were influenced in their course primarily by the dynamic development of the political position of the nobility, which in the post-Hussite period emphatically asserted their share in the administration of the kingdom.
