The Emperor first takes the oath on the Gospels in the church of St Mary in Turri to defend the Roman Church; thither he is attended by two archbishops or bishops of his own realm, and thence he proceeds to St Peter’s, where he is met at the entrance by the Bishop of Albano, who says the prayer _Deus in cuius manu_. Inside the church the Bishop of Porto says the prayer _Deus inenarrabilis auctor mundi_. The Emperor then goes up into the choir, and the Litany is said, he lying prostrate the while before the altar of St Peter. The Litany over, he is anointed by the Bishop of Ostia on the right arm and between the shoulders, before the altar of St Maurice. The three orders do not quite agree in the prayers of consecration. In the two orders of Martène the prayer of anointing is _Domine Deus cuius est omnis potestas_, or _Deus Dei Filius_, this latter perhaps a non-Roman form, and here first found in the Roman rite. In the Ordo of Waitz the consecration prayer is _Deus qui es iustorum gloria_, the unction being made at the words _Accende, quaesumus, cor eius ad amorem gratiae tuae per hoc unctionis oleum, unde unxisti sacerdotes_, etc., followed by _Domine Deus omnipotens cuius est_, etc. Then the Pope sets the crown on his head, with the form (M. VIII and W.) _Accipe signum gloriae_, W. also adding the prayer _Coronet te Deus_. M. VI is more developed here. After the anointing the Pope gives the Emperor the sword at the altar of St Peter, _Accipe gladium imperialem ad vindictam quidem malorum_, etc., and kisses him; he then girds the sword on him with the words _Accingere gladio tuo super femur_, etc., and kisses him; and the Emperor brandishes it and then returns it to its sheath. Then the sceptre is delivered with the words _Accipe sceptrum regni, virgam videlicet virtutis_; and finally the Pope crowns him, saying: _Accipe signum gloriae_, and once more kisses him. The Teutons then chant the _Laudes_ in their own tongue, and Mass is celebrated. The rite is still simple at this period, but two developements in the ceremonial have taken place. The Emperor from this time forward takes the oath in the church of St Mary in Turri; and is no longer anointed before the Confessio of St Peter, but in the chapel of St Maurice, no one henceforth being anointed before the Confessio but the Pope at his consecration[52]. NOTE The account given by Robert of Clary[53] of the coronation of the first Latin Emperor of Constantinople, Baldwin of Flanders, in 1204, shews it to have been a purely Western ceremony.
