Koronakisülés

Koronakisülés is a term used in Hungarian to describe the ceremonial seating of a monarch during a coronation. The word combines koron(a) meaning crown and ülés meaning seating, and it appears in some historical and heraldic writings as a way to refer to the moment or the chair involved in the crowning ritual.

In scholarly and descriptive sources, koronakisülés denotes the act of placing the sovereign on a designated seat or throne as part of the coronation ceremony, symbolizing the monarch’s accession and the continuity of royal authority. The concept is often discussed alongside related rituals such as koronázás (coronation) and trónra ülés (enthronement). The emphasis is on the ceremonial seat as a focal point of legitimacy and public recognition of power.

Characteristics of the koronakisülés, when described, typically include mention of a specially prepared chair or throne, sometimes decorated with heraldic devices, religious symbols, or insignia associated with the crown and the realm. The seating is usually situated within a broader sequence of ritual acts surrounding the crowning.

Modern usage of the term is limited. Koronakisülés is primarily encountered in historical, heraldic, or linguistic contexts and is not a common term in contemporary Hungarian discourse. See also coronation, throne, crown, heraldry, and Hungarian monarchy for related concepts.
