English Translation

3 th Rudolf I. von Habsburg (1306 - 1307) was also not crowned as a result of his imminent death. He was given an imitation of the crown insignia with him in the grave. The coronation of Johann v.Luxembourg (1310 - 1346) and his wife Elisabeth was accompanied by brilliant solemnities. The coronation act was carried out by the Archbishop of Mainz, Peter v.Aspelt, the insignia carried the greats of the country; one the crown, another the scepter, a third the imperial apple, and another the other objects. 2 younger members of the estate held the crown over the head of the ruler during the coronations. The second wife of Johann v.Luxembourg, Beatrix v.Boubonn, was crowned with the crown of Bohemia on May 8, 1337 in Prague's cathedral. The king himself was present without crown and order, as he was probably once again in money silence. Charles IV. (1346 - 1378), the son of John v.Luxembourg, still in his lifetime his father provided for a new coronation ceremonial and a new crown. Pope Clement VI, after the rise of the Prague diocese to the Archdiocese (l344), issued a specially decreed bull at Avignon on 5 May. In May 1344, the Archbishop of Prague was given the right to place the crown on the head of the Bohemian king, which was previously granted to the Archbishop in Mainz. Charles Iv. l347 upheld this right to the archbishop of Prague on his own accession to the throne. Wenceslas is kept in the Wenzelskapelle of the Prague Veitsdom (hence Wenzzel's crown). Pope Clement VI confirmed the orders concerning the new crown in a bull issued to Avignom on 6 May l346, in which he threatened the one who would steal or transfer the crown (see Johann v.Luxembourg).
