There are two orders[100] given by Martène, VIII and XI, which stand quite by themselves, and are not easily placed. Ordo VIII is taken from an Arles pontifical, dated by Martène c. 1200-1300. The rite is short and shews Roman influence. It begins with _Te Deum_, after which the king takes the oath in the later Roman form _Profiteor coram Deo et angelis_. The king is then presented to the metropolitan by two bishops and the consecration begins with the prayer _Omnipotens sempiterne Deus creator omnium_, followed by _Deus Dei filius_, during which the king is anointed on the head. He is then crowned with the Roman form _Accipe igitur coronam regni_, invested with the Verge, _Accipe virgam_, and enthroned with the _Sta et retine_. After the enthronisation is said either _Deus qui victrices Moysi_, a Roman form here first appearing, or _Deus inenarrabilis_. The forms of the coronation of the queen are almost identical with those of the Roman pontifical of 1520. The Archbishop of Arles had no official part in the coronation of the French monarch. On the other hand, in strict theory, the emperor should be crowned at Arles as King of Burgundy, as well as at Aachen, Milan, and Rome; it is possible therefore that this order may represent the rite used on such an occasion, though but few emperors were actually crowned at Arles. Ordo IX is still more puzzling. It is found in the Pontifical of Peter, Bishop of Senlis, who died in the year 1356. The consecration of the king is introduced by _Benedic Domine hunc regem_, then follows _Deus inenarrabilis_, after which the king is anointed, during the _Deus qui es iustorum gloria_, on feet, shoulders, and arms. The forms of the investitures with Sword (after which is said the prayer _Deus qui providentia_, which however is given out of place), Ring, Sceptre (which is followed by the benediction of the Oriflamme), and Crown follow more or less the Romanized third recension, but the benediction of the Oriflamme is inserted among them. The anointing of the feet is unique, and there can be very little doubt that this ceremony has never had a place in any rite. The probabilities are that both these orders are quite unauthoritative and were never used. IV We come now to the final recension of the French rite, which is represented by the order of Charles V, who was crowned in 1364[101]. This recension, like the corresponding fourth recension of the English rite, returns to the older rite anterior to the Romanized third recension in so far as it is a conflation of the second and third recensions, containing nearly everything that had appeared in all previous rites, and therefore much matter that was originally alternative.
