ABSTRACT Single images of the coronation of historical rulers appeared in England, most famously in the thirteenth-century wall painting of Edward the Confessor in Henry III’s palace at Westminster. Earlier and far more common, however, were images of the crowning and anointing of the biblical king David, above all in manuscript psalters, in particular the illustrations of Psalm 26, whose titulus ‘Psalmus David priusque liniretur’ (‘A psalm of David before he was anointed’) provided the inspiration for the pictorial subject. The continuity of the subject and the variety of pictorial representations offer the opportunity to examine the rich history of its illustration in psalters, to consider the images in their social, political and liturgical contexts, and thereby to augment our understanding of medieval concepts of kingly consecration, whether biblical or contemporary.
