There are two standard procedures for (post-Roman) emperors :
a) the pope smashes a crown on the new (and ignorant) emperor's head "Here, put this on, you are an emperor now!" (Charlemagne in 800 AD).
b) to have himself crowned, the future emperor abducts manu militari the pope from Rome,, and at the ceremony, he boldly grabs the crown out of the pope's hands, and puts it on his head himself (Napoleon in 1804 AD).

I was in York the other day, where Constantine happened to be when he was proclaimed Emperor, pretty much at one of the furthest edges of the Roman Empire. He must have thought “Bloody hell, this is inconvenient.” :doh:

Not much, the Royal Arms, which are the front of most of the jackets, can be changed but haven't been for ages.
And their titles: Garter Principal King of Arms outside St. James's Palace, London, and then by the Lord Lyon King of Arms at the Mercat Cross in Edinburgh.

Well Lord Wragg told us he was off for a holiday down south, but that was just when we were getting ominous announcements about the health of the Queen ... maybe he has some ancient, noble office to perform on these occasions ... Cruxton Herald of the new Threads, Lord Keeper of the Wine Cellar, Master of the Rattling Chains and Gentleman Usher of the Demeriting Rod?
