EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image, the Kings Champion rides triumphantly into Westminster Hall during the State Banquet following the Coronation of King George IV in 1821. The scene, as observed by Sir Walter Scott, captures the grandeur and pageantry of a bygone era. Dressed in full regalia, the Champion, a knight in shining armor, proudly holds aloft his plumed helmet and gauntlet, symbolizing the challenge he presents to all who dare to impeach the new sovereign's title. The tradition of the Champion's ceremonial entry into Westminster Hall dates back to medieval times, when the monarch's right to rule was not always uncontested. The Champion, a representative of the King, would ride on horseback into the vast, ornate hall, surrounded by pages and other attendants, to assert the monarch's authority and defend against any potential challenges. The Coronation of George IV marked the last time this ancient ceremony was enacted in its full splendor. The image captures the sense of chivalry and tradition that permeated the royal court, as well as the awe-inspiring scale and opulence of the occasion. The Champion's horse, adorned with trappings and armor, adds to the sense of grandeur, while the pages, in their colorful livery, scurry around in attendance. This print, from the Mary Evans Prints Online archive, offers a glimpse into the rich history and pageantry of the British monarchy, transporting us back to a time when the role of the Champion and the ceremony itself were an integral part of the coronation process. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of royalty and the traditions that surround it.
