Summary This generously illustrated volume is the first in-depth study of the history and ceremonial at British royal weddings from the late sixteenth century onwards. With its over 70 illustrations it is also the most complete pictorial record of these ceremonies. Focusing on the actual wedding service, it follows the three main aspects of the choice of venue, the structure of the ceremonial, and especially the music of these events up to the early twentieth century. Being so closely linked with the performance of these ceremonies, music presents itself as an intriguing aspect for discussing the ceremonial details. Since the eighteenth century, at least some royal weddings have also been notable musical occasions and since Victorian times they have influenced the choices at other weddings. Many newly discovered sources have allowed for new insights and conclusions about the historical facts and interpretations of these ceremonies. Overall, this study presents the most complete account to date of how these magnificent occasions were celebrated. With its holistic approach and interdisciplinary character, replete with numerous illustrations and tables, this study is an extensive resource for historians and musicians alike - and for all those with a wider range of interest in British royal ceremonies. A second volume "British Royal Weddings: The House of Windsor" is scheduled to appear in 2023 by the same author and is the first in-depth discussion of how the British Royal Weddings since 1919 have been celebrated.
