Coronation was always a big festivities in Bratislava. In the morning the emperor started the coronation road from Bratislava castle together with his suite. The first stop was at St. Martin\u2019s Cathedral where a coronation mass took place. After the mass the procession follow to Franciscan church.
Here the new monarch knighted the Knights of Golden Spur chosen from Hungarians nobility. The last stage of coronation event was a coronation celebration.<\/p>\n

Why Bratislava was the coronation city of Hungarian kingdom, and not Budapest? In 16th<\/sup>. Century vast part of Hungarian kingdom had been occupied by Ottoman Empire, including also the capital Budapest. Bratislava therefore as the second biggest city of Hungarian kingdom became the capital city and also coronation city. The first coronation took place in Bratislava in 1563 and the last one in 1830. Between these periods in Bratislava had been crowned 11 kings and 8 royal husbands. All the monarchs crowned in Bratislava belongs to ruling Habsburg dynasty.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n
