1870: The Coronation Chair, known historically as St Edward's Chair or King Edward's Chair, is an ancient wooden throne on which the British monarch sits when he or she is invested with regalia and crowned at the coronation in London, England. It was commissioned in 1296 by King Edward I to contain the coronation stone of Scotland – known as the Stone of Destiny – which had been captured from the Scots who kept it at Scone Abbey in Perthshire, Scotland.
