This _Chronicle_ contains a full description of the coronation and of the banquet in Westminster Hall. [114] This description is taken from Fabyan's _Chronicle_. The speeches in the pageant were by Lydgate, who also wrote a long poem on the 'Coming of the King out of France to London.' [115] The particulars respecting the sermon on Edward IV.'s title were obtained by Dr. J. Gairdner from a Latin Chronicle, printed by the Camden Society (_Three Fifteenth Century Chronicles_, 1880, pp. xxii. 173), as also his sitting in the royal seat (_sedes regalis_), which Dr. Gairdner supposes to be the King's Bench.
