King Edward's Chair - Historic Throne for Monarch's Coronation

King Edward's Chair is the throne used for the monarch's coronation. It was commissioned in 1296 by King Edward I built to contain the coronation stone of Scotland (the Stone of Scone) which he had captured from the Scots who had kept it at Scone Abbey. The chair was named after Edward the Confessor. Since 1308, all anointed sovereigns of England have sat in this chair at the moment of their coronation, with the exception of Queen Mary I Mary II. The last time it was used was 1953.
