The order of the coronation of Dom Pedro is as follows. The day before the ceremony the king entered the church in which he was to be crowned on the morrow, and kneeling down said a prayer for himself in Spanish. The Sword, Shield, and Helmet were then set on the altar, where they remained through the night watched by nobles, the king reposing in the Sacristy. Next morning he hears Mass privately, and at the time appointed he is summoned by the archbishop and other bishops, and is arrayed in his royal vesture; an ample linen camisa, like a Roman rochet; an amice of linen; a long camisa of white linen; a girdle; a stole over the left shoulder hanging before and behind; a maniple on his left wrist; a tunicle; and a dalmatic. The king thus arrayed goes in procession to the altar, and the Litany is said, followed by a prayer for the king and the collect _Actiones nostras_. At this point comes a section peculiar to the Spanish rite, the _Benedictio super omnia arma regis_; first a general benediction, then the _Benedictio super scutum_, the _Benedictio super lanceam_, and the _Benedictio super ensem_. After these benedictions, if he is not already a knight, the king is invested with the Sword, the archbishop saying _Accipe ensem desuper altare_, as in the Roman rite, and the king says a prayer for himself in Spanish. The Mass for the day is then begun, and after the Epistle the king takes the oath in the direct form, _Nos N. profitemur et promittimus coram Deo_[127]. The more important bishops now lead the king to the archbishop and ask that he may be crowned, as in the Roman rite, except that the petition is made in Spanish. The archbishop then says _Deus in cuius manu corda sunt regum_, and there follow three prayers under the heading _Alia oratio_ which are probably to be regarded as alternative to the foregoing, _Omn. semp. Deus qui famulum tuum N._, _Deus qui scis omne humanum_, and _Omn. semp. Deus caelestium terrestriumque_. The archbishop then puts the questions to the king _Vis fidem sanctam_, etc., and asks the people whether they will accept him as king, as in Hittorp’s order. The archbishop blesses the king with the prayer _Benedic Domine hunc regem_, and proceeds to the consecration; after _Sursum corda_, _Preface_, and the prayer _Creator omnium Imperator angelorum_ he anoints him in the threefold Name on the breast and each of his shoulders, and then says _Prospice Omn. Domine hunc gloriosum regem nostrum serenis obtutibus_. At this point under the heading _Alia oratio_ are given a number of prayers _Domine Deus Omn. cuius est omnis potestas_, in a longer version than usual, _Omn. semp. Deus qui Azahel super Syriam_, _Spiritus Sancti gratia_, _Deus qui es iustorum gloria_, and _Deus Dei filius_.
